Cognizant

Senior Associate

Apr 2024 – Jan 2025 · 9 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

During my time at Cognizant as a Senior Associate, I played a key role in Spring Boot microservice API development supporting a strategic API Gateway migration to Kong in an Agile–Scrum environment. I managed and developed client-facing APIs using Java 8 and 17, and built wrapper microservices to bridge legacy systems with modern client needs.
I applied Test-Driven and Behavior-Driven Development principles using JUnit and Cucumber, ensuring robust code quality. I also collaborated closely with QA, DevOps, and Product teams, leveraging Docker, Jenkins, Octopus, and OpenShift for smooth CI/CD processes and scalable deployments.
I contributed to the creation of a custom Maven-based API development framework, hosted in Nexus Repository, streamlining future API initiatives. Additionally, I mentored new team members and ensured the early delivery of all activated APIs into consumer testing, accelerating project momentum toward full deployment.
