Liquidity Solutions (Mosaic Trading Portal)
Worked on the modernization of Mosaic’s trading-portal reconciliation workflow, replacing legacy Autosys/Korn-shell batches with an event-driven AWS architecture built through CDK-authored CloudFormation; stack leveraged S3-tag triggers, Java-based Lambdas, Kinesis Streams, DynamoDB state tables, SQS queues, and CloudWatch dashboards.
Designed and implemented Step Functions state machines using callback tokens to coordinate asynchronous, file-dependent stages; late-arriving files automatically resumed parked states via S3 events, enabling fully event-based processing.
Built an on-prem reconciliation service that securely polls SQS, retrieves incoming files, and applies updates to core DB2 tables—forming the bridge between cloud ingestion and on-prem data stores.
Established an automation-test repository with REST-assured, Cucumber feature files, and Gradle; added helper utilities for invoking Step Functions, Lambdas, and SQS, and integrated the suite with GitLab CI for automated build-and-test pipelines.
Championed infrastructure-as-code and DevSecOps practices across the team: hardening IAM roles, standardising CloudWatch observability, and mentoring peers in CDK workflows and GitLab CI deployment patterns.

Led the development of Coordination of Benefits, a microservice-based platform with Kafka as the message broker, enabling asynchronous communication among claim services. Optimized the claim adjudication process and reduced multi-benefit claim processing time by 45%.
Built CDC data pipelines using Kafka Connect and KSQL using MySQL/PostgreSQL databases as the data source and AWS ElasticSearch as the egress sink.
Modernized the obsolete Validation Process by converting Perl Scripts to Python, using batch processing and significantly reducing the runtime from over 300 minutes to ~20 minutes.
Researched on, built POCs, and integrated framework-agnostic Angular Elements, into an existing Spring Boot project.
Wrote Cron Jobs for scheduling backups on the OpenShift Container Platform and developed CI/CD Pipelines in Jenkins for microservices to push the latest artifacts to JFrog Artifactory and Docker builds to Docker Registry.
