With 5+ years of experience in the software development industry, I am a dynamic and solution-focused Java Developer who is passionate about leveraging Open Source technologies to solve complex business challenges in a cost-effective and flexible manner. Currently serving as a Software Engineer III at Walmart Global Tech India, I specialize in server-side Java development and implementation, with a focus on Apache Kafka, Spring MVC, Cassandra, NoSQL, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and microservices. My previous roles include an Associate Technology L2 position at Goldman Sachs and System Engineer work at Tata Consultancy Services, where I honed my expertise in Java, Core Java, Spring Boot, and REST APIs. I bring a wealth of practical experience and a strong foundation in software development to every project I work on. In addition to my technical skills, my toolkit includes a variety of essential development technologies such as Spring MVC Framework, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Maven, GitHub, Jenkins, Kafka, CICD, and Azure. I stay up-to-date with the latest best practices, trends, and industry developments, and I enjoy mentoring and helping junior team members grow their skills. Whether I'm gathering requirements from internal and external stakeholders, writing REST APIs and their unit tests, resolving reported issues and replying to queries, or improving code quality by implementing recommended best practices, my focus is always on delivering high-quality solutions that exceed expectations.
