About

🚀 Experienced Software Leader | Cloud-Native Architect | Microservices Expert Seasoned software professional with over a decade of proven success in architecting and delivering scalable, cloud-native enterprise applications. I specialize in designing distributed, event-driven systems using modern tech stacks, and thrive in dynamic environments where performance, reliability, and innovation are key. 💼 Currently leading high-impact projects at Delta Airlines (Delta Technology Hub). I drive end-to-end development—from system design and cloud architecture to implementation and production deployment—across mission-critical systems like the Flight Management Computer (Mission Zulu). My work emphasizes system observability, active-passive failover strategies, and smooth cloud transitions (AWS, ROSA, Java, Kafka, Spring Boot, and more). 🧠 My prior experience includes roles at Microsoft IDC (as SDE-II), Oracle, CIGNEX Datamatics, and TCS, where I consistently delivered robust, efficient, and scalable microservices in Agile and TDD environments. I’ve led cloud modernization efforts, reduced AWS costs by up to 50%, and championed telemetry integration and performance tuning. 💡 I’m passionate about building high-performing engineering teams, mentoring developers, and aligning software solutions with business goals. With a strong foundation in Data Structures and Algorithms, and deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, AWS (Lambda, S3, EC2, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, RDS, EventBridge, VPC, CodePipeline), I bring both technical depth and leadership experience to the table. 🏆 Recognized with multiple awards (Diamond, Platinum, and Gold at Delta; Spot Awards at Oracle), I’m driven by a commitment to excellence, continuous learning, and impactful software engineering.
