Experience
Intermediate Software Developer — SGI – Canada Aug 2023 – Present
• Improved system reliability by 20% by delivering end-to-end full-stack features using React-based UIs, scalable backend services, and REST APIs deployed on Azure Cloud with Docker and CI/CD pipelines for enterprise platforms including DRIVE and MySGI.
• Reduced policy and billing data mismatches by 30% by designing event-driven microservices and RESTful integrations between Guidewire Policy center and Billing center, supporting real-time and batch processing workflows across distributed systems.
• Increased platform scalability and resiliency, cutting inter-service failures by 25%, by architecting cloud-native microservices, implementing Kafka-based messaging, and building fault-tolerant API workflows aligned with modern backend engineering best practices.
• Accelerated customer-facing feature delivery by 30% by collaborating with product managers and UX designers to translate ambiguous requirements into system architecture designs, Open API specifications, and reusable frontend components.
• Achieved zero critical audit findings by strengthening application security and regulatory compliance through OAuth authentication, RBAC, SSL/TLS, AES, RSA encryption, and secure SDLC practices in regulated enterprise environments.
• Reduced system downtime by 20% by owning services end-to-end, troubleshooting complex frontend and backend issues, and leading root-cause analysis and incident resolution in production systems.
• Processed and renewed 10M+ transactions per run, improving renewal throughput and SLA reliability, by building asynchronous backend workflows using queue-based processing, cron orchestration, and fault-tolerant microservices.
• Lowered defect rates by 25% and improved team productivity by mentoring 3–4 engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and architectural guidance, while establishing automated testing (Jest), CI/CD standards, and containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Improved operational awareness and system reliability by integrating an asynchronous failure notification service that provides real-time alerts for background task failures, enabling faster incident response and recovery. Full Stack Developer, BivoCash (The Glide Tech) - Los Gatos, CA Mar 2022 – July 2023
• Improved transaction reliability and regulatory compliance by building React-based financial workflows and Node.js REST APIs, supporting high-volume, low-latency payment processing for customer-facing banking features.
• Reduced transaction errors by 15% by developing SQL reporting pipelines and analytics dashboards for fraud detection and reconciliation, while improving release stability through Agile delivery and Jest testing. Full Stack Developer, I-pangram LLP — India Jun 2020 – Dec 2021
• Designed a scalable MERN-based NFT platform architecture by modularizing frontend and backend services, enabling secure asset management and future feature expansion.
• Reduced integration defects by 20% by defining REST API contracts and workflow standards across services, while strengthening security through OAuth and JWT authentication. Software Developer, Ark Inc. — India Apr 2018 – May 2020
• Improved application reporting and backend reliability by developing RESTful APIs and backend services for the Skasham geo-fencing application, enabling location-based data consumption for dashboards and internal tools.
• Streamlined data flow between services and databases by building backend data pipelines that integrated relational and NoSQL stores and supported Tableau/Power BI visualizations, reducing manual data handling and improving system usability for engineering and business teams.
