Ankit Agrawal — Software Engineer

Sr. Principal Engineer / Engineering Manager | Cloud • Security • AI I bring 15 years of hands‑on engineering and people leadership across BFSI, Healthcare and Workforce‑Management products. My track record spans: • Technical leadership – Architected high‑throughput payment and trade‑surveillance micro‑services; recently drove a 75 % performance boost in UKG’s QuickTest module (Java 17, Spring Boot, GCP, GKE). • Platform modernisation – Led CentOS → Rocky Linux migration with CIS‑hardened images, closing 100 % of critical CVEs. • SaaS migration & onboarding – Enhanced and maintained a Migration Accelerator that automates validation for on‑prem → cloud cut‑overs, reducing manual effort and powering onboarding for the customers. • Gen‑AI enablement – Designed a ChatGPT‑based AI Review Assistant that scores data‑flow diagrams and halves security‑review prep time. • Delivery ownership – Own backlog, OKRs and releases for an 8‑engineer pod covering onboarding tools and data‑migration applications. • People & culture – Mentor engineers through fortnightly design clinics; serve on hiring panels; recognized with 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 3 Bronze excellence awards. I thrive on turning ambiguity into shipping code, balancing deep technical dives with clear stakeholder communication. Whether migrating TLS certificates from an external vendor to DigiCert’s internal CA to enable automated renewals, scaling Kubernetes workloads, or crafting LLM prompt frameworks, I focus on measurable outcomes and collaborative execution.
