Software Developer Texas, USA
● Engineered and deployed microservices using FastAPI, Pydantic, and PostgreSQL to modernize a high-volume trading compliance platform, reducing response latency by 40% and improving regulatory audit readiness.
● Built secure, component-based frontend features using React.js and JWT-based authentication workflows, enhancing user onboarding speed by 35% while maintaining strict FINRA compliance standards.
● Developed secure, modular backend services using Django and SQLAlchemy, enabling scalable API integration for client account management and reducing time-to-market for new financial products through reusable service architecture and ORM optimization.
● Containerized backend services using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) and deployed them via AWS CloudFormation templates, reducing manual infrastructure setup time by 70% and ensuring repeatable deployments across environments.
● Led the migration of legacy Flask applications to Django-based modular services, resulting in 25% fewer codebase issues and accelerating team velocity by one sprint per quarter.
● Implemented end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and integrated PyTest for automated testing, increasing deployment frequency by 3x while maintaining zero critical post-release defects. Global FinCorp Group Jul 2021 – Jul 2023
