Senior Software Engineer Oracle America Inc. Irving, TX Feb 2025 - Present

• Lead backend services for Oracle's Clinical AI Platform / Offline Event Orchestration (OEO) using Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, OCI ATP, Redis, and Celery for high-throughput orchestration workloads.

• Designed reusable Terraform modules for OCI OKE, ATP, Redis/Cache, VCN, IAM, Monitoring/Alarms, and Object Storage, enabling consistent deployments across development, staging, and production.

• Built Kubernetes and Helm deployment patterns for workers, schedulers, and platform services with readiness/liveness probes, resource quotas, and blue/green and canary rollout support.

• Developed Kafka producers/consumers and event-driven workflows with tuned partitions, batching, idempotency, and retry handling to reduce duplicate processing and improve reliability.

• Implemented centralized monitoring/exporter services that surface OCI, ATP, OKE, and application metrics into Prometheus/Grafana dashboards with actionable SLO and alert rules.

• Shipped ATP reliability safeguards including SQLAlchemy connection pooling, session-utilization alarms, circuit-breaker patterns, and auto- remediation hooks for production incidents.

• Created CI/CD quality gates using OCI DevOps and GitHub Actions: pytest, coverage enforcement, Ruff/flake8, container scanning, Terraform plan/apply, Helm lint, and progressive deployments.

• Built AI agent workflows with prompt orchestration, tool use, guardrails, offline evaluation harnesses, and golden-set tests to prevent quality regressions before release.

• Built and enhanced a medical expense claims platform using Java, Spring Boot, REST/SOAP services, Hibernate, Oracle SQL, and PL/SQL, improving processing efficiency by 40% and reducing errors by 25%.

• Designed scalable claims, eligibility, and payment-processing APIs with optimized database access patterns, stored procedures, and query tuning that reduced processing time by 25%.

• Integrated Kafka-based microservices and RabbitMQ workflows for asynchronous processing, improving resiliency, throughput, and downstream system communication.

• Automated CI/CD with Jenkins/GitHub pipelines, Docker packaging, JUnit/Mockito test gates, and performance validations to improve release quality and deployment confidence.

• Deployed cloud-based microservices across Azure/AWS environments and tuned resource usage, reducing operating costs by 15% while improving scalability.

Sr. Software Developer Tek Internationals Inc. United States Jan 2023 - Jun 2023

• Designed and maintained Java/Spring Boot microservices and secure REST/SOAP endpoints for enterprise integrations with internal and external systems.

• Implemented JPA/Hibernate persistence, PL/SQL queries, and transaction handling to improve relational database reliability and maintainable service boundaries.

• Added unit and integration test coverage, CI/CD checks, and code-review practices to improve release stability and reduce production defects.

• Partnered with product, QA, and DevOps teams to clarify requirements, diagnose critical issues, and deliver features within agile release cycles. Software Engineer Deloitte Hyderabad, India Jan 2020 - Dec 2021

• Developed secure Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, Spring Security, and Spring MVC services, reducing code delivery time by 50% and improving development efficiency by 35%.

• Built REST APIs and backend data services using MongoDB and Kafka for real-time processing, improving data retrieval performance by 30%.

• Containerized services with Docker and deployed workloads on AWS while strengthening logging, monitoring, and troubleshooting through Log4j and Elasticsearch.

• Implemented service virtualization and automated test scripts with the Copycat Framework, reducing manual QA effort by 30% and improving regression coverage.

• Supported CI/CD with Jenkins, GitHub, TeamCity, and Maven; recognized with the Deloitte Spot Award for collaborative problem-solving. SELECTED PLATFORM PROJECTS

• OEO canary and synthetic probes: validated processor health, event routing, database connectivity, and metrics emission before production promotion.

• OCI telemetry alarm automation: standardized fleet-aware Monitoring alarms through Terraform modules and environment mappings, reducing manual alarm drift.

• ATP reliability telemetry: added error/session monitoring patterns for connection spikes, blocked sessions, and database operation failures with actionable dashboards and alerts.
