  • Microservices Implementation: Designed, developed and deployed new microservices components to decompose monolithic functionality, improve scalability, and accelerate time‑to‑market.
  • Vendor Integration & Architecture: Defined the end‑to‑end integration architecture, authored interface specifications, and built robust, secure integrations (batch & real‑time) with external vendors (e.g., market data providers, payment gateways).
  • API Management: Implemented API versioning, authentication (OAuth2/JWT), and monitoring to ensure reliable service contracts and SLAs with internal and third‑party consumers.
  • Production Support (L2): Served as Level‑2 support escalation point—investigated, diagnosed, and resolved critical production issues; coordinated with operations and development teams to implement hot‑fixes and preventive measures.
  • Documentation & Best Practices: Produced architecture diagrams, runbooks, and coding standards; championed code reviews and automated testing (unit/integration) to drive consistency and quality.
  • Microservices Rollout: Successfully decomposed 3 major legacy modules into microservices, reducing deployment lead time by 50% and enabling independent scaling of high‑load components.
  • Integration Reliability: Built a resilient vendor integration framework with automatic retry and alerting—cut integration failures by 30% and manual intervention by 70%.
  • Performance Optimization: Tuned critical Web Services endpoints, achieving a 40% reduction in average response time (from 800 ms to 480 ms) under peak loads.
  • Incident Resolution: As Level‑2 support lead, decreased mean time to resolution (MTTR) for production incidents from 4 hours to under 1.5 hours through improved diagnostics and runbook automation.
  • Architecture Documentation: Delivered a comprehensive integration architecture blueprint—accelerated onboarding of two new vendor connections by 60% and facilitated cross‑team alignment.
  • Process Improvement: Introduced CI/CD pipelines for Web Forms and microservices projects, reducing manual deployments by 100% and slashing release cycle errors by 85%.
