Niraj Bathija — Associate Consultant
I'm a Software Development Engineer II at UBS with experience in building robust, high-throughput backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, and Apache Kafka. My work primarily revolves around regulatory reporting and trade processing, where I’ve scaled systems handling 1.5 M+ daily transactions. I've led the successful migration of a legacy Apache Flink application to Spring Boot, improving performance by 100%, and engineered fault-tolerant Kafka pipelines for reliable, parallel data processing. I’ve also eliminated external dependencies, optimized critical flows, and driven design through to deployment in fast-paced, highly regulated environments. Beyond code, I’m passionate about clean architecture, thoughtful system design, and driving long-term improvements — whether it’s optimizing performance, reducing dependencies, or making systems more resilient and scalable.
