  • Senior Software Engineer — Target
  • Built and scaled backend services for Fixed Assortment (vendor eligibility, assortment workflows, low-latency integrations) using Kotlin/Java + Spring Boot/WebFlux.
  • Owned microservices for vendor & VOP flows; designed clean, versioned REST APIs (OpenAPI), rigorous validation, consistent error mapping, and idempotent update paths.
  • Designed the vendor/VOP pipeline: common-vendor intersection → per-vendor VOP intersection (Complete status) → pre-distro filtering with bounded-concurrency parallel calls, retries/backoff, and timeouts—cutting latency and timeouts under load.
  • Modeled domains with DDD/hexagonal patterns; consolidated legacy logic into cohesive Kotlin services leveraging null-safety and functional utilities, reducing defects and cognitive load.
  • Optimized data access (indexes, selective projections, pagination, N+1 elimination) and tuned SQL/query plans to handle large vendor/item datasets with stable P95s.
  • Introduced caching & request batching to remove redundant downstream calls and improve throughput.
  • Elevated observability with structured logs, Micrometer metrics, and distributed tracing; built dashboards/alerts that shortened MTTR during incidents.
  • Drove test strategy (JUnit5, MockK, slice/integration patterns, Testcontainers-ready design), expanded coverage, and deflaked unstable tests.
  • Enforced build & style hygiene (Gradle, Spotless, Ktlint), and sped up CI with incremental checks and targeted test execution.
  • Led code reviews, maintained a disciplined branching strategy, and partnered with product/architecture to de-risk releases and accelerate delivery.
  • Authored onboarding guides/runbooks that reduced ramp-up time for new engineers.
  • Tech: Kotlin, Java, Spring Boot/WebFlux, GraphQL, REST (OpenAPI), Gradle, JUnit5, MockK, Reactor, Micrometer, SQL (indexes/pagination), caching/batching, resilience (timeouts, retry/backoff), CI/CD, Git.
