About

With 13 years of extensive IT experience, I specialize in application design and development, particularly in integration, API management with MuleSoft Platform and Kong API Gateway. Currently, I serve as a Solution Architect at IDFC FIRST Bank. My expertise includes a robust knowledge of the Mule Anypoint platform and Kong API Gateway to manage, secure, and govern APIs within AWS EKS infrastructure. Security and cryptography are also part of my skill set; I am well-versed in technologies such as OAuth, JWT, JWE, HSM cryptography, KMS, and payload encryption. On the observability front, I leverage tools like ELK, Dynatrace, Jaeger, and Grafana for real-time monitoring and traceability within complex multi-tiered architectures. I also bring solid experience in DevOps CI/CD technologies such as GIT, Maven, TFS/ADS, and Jenkins.

During my time with a leading healthcare provider in the USA, it was to provide patients a comprehensive view of their health information. I successfully implemented a secure, standards-based Patient Access API using the HL7 FHIR Specification, ensuring compliance with CMS Interoperability rules. This involved creating reliable and secure APIs on the MuleSoft platform, designed with API-Led Architecture, and utilizing OAuth 2.0 for security.
