Key Strengths

• Designed and built Java Spring Boot REST backend with PostgreSQL and Redis caching
• Performance tuning using CloudWatch analysis, indexing, caching, pagination, pooling, and async calls (25% response-time improvement)
• Kubernetes microservices deployments on AWS with Helm + Terraform and zero-downtime rolling updates
• CI/CD automation with Jenkins (Docker builds, push to ECR, deploy to clusters)
• Resolved Kubernetes environment configuration issues via Helm values separation
• Improved reliability by tuning resource limits, enabling autoscaling, and adding health checks
• Supported on-prem to AWS migration using Terraform, Docker, Jenkins, and AWS DMS with minimal downtime
• Built and optimized Kafka real-time streaming pipeline; mitigated lag via partitioning and consumer group tuning
• Implemented idempotent consumers and offset management to prevent duplicate processing
• Production incident rollback via GitOps (reverted wrong image tag; reduced downtime from hours to minutes)
