Software Engineer II

• Developed and maintained responsive web applications using React JS, applying modern TypeScript features and utilizing React Hooks, Context API, and Zustand for efficient state management and component logic.
• Enhanced application performance by optimizing server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side hydration in Next.js, resulting in a 50% reduction in initial load times and improving overall SEO and user experience.
• Utilized Node.js framework and libraries, including Express, TypeORM, Moment, and Plotly for processing sensor data and showing in dashboards.
• Integrated LLMs into a full-stack chat application using LangChain, LangGraph, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), enabling contextual and document-aware conversations by leveraging vector stores, embeddings, and custom agents.
• Utilized Material-UI to design and implement visually appealing and consistent UI components, improving user engagement by 25%.
• Built a consistent and scalable UI by creating reusable functional components and shared design patterns, significantly reducing duplicate code and improving development speed and maintainability across the application.
• Conducted regular code reviews, maintaining strict coding standards, and reducing bugs by 30%

Application Developer

• Integrated React Query for data fetching, caching, and synchronization, reducing data loading times by 40% and improving application performance.
• Developed high-performance RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express, leveraging TypeORM with PostgreSQL for efficient database management, resulting in a 25% improvement in query performance and seamless CRUD operations.
• Integrated SurveyJS forms into React applications to dynamically generate and manage forms, increasing form generation efficiency by 40%.
• Added unit and integration tests using Jest and React Testing Library, improving code reliability and catching 40% more bugs during development, leading to faster QA cycles and more stable releases.
• Incorporated accessibility standards (WCAG) into React components to ensure inclusive user experiences across devices.

Software Development Engineer

• Developed a scalable and modular microservice architecture for card tokenization, comprising different microservices for generic processing and an api-gateway for external service interaction.
• Developed and maintained REST APIs using Spring Boot, Redis and AWS. Successfully integrating major card networks such as Mastercard and Visa, and tokenized more than 100 million cards.
• Implemented an intelligent configuration management system using Redis as cache, allowing for controlled feature rollouts and merchant onboarding. This resulted in 70% reduction in merchant onboarding time.
• Collaborated closely with Software Architects and Senior Developers to design and implement high-quality software solutions using Design patterns, and SOLID principles that follow best practices and industry standards.

Software Development Engineer Intern

• Collaborated closely with Software Architects and Senior Developers to design and implement high-quality software solutions using Design patterns, and SOLID principles that follow best practices and industry standards.
• Worked on the Card on File (COF) project. In this, users could select a list of merchants to which their card needs to be added and manage them through the bank app, resulting in a 50% reduction in transaction time.
• Designed and implemented a relational data model to store merchant and customer data.
• Automated repetitive testing processes using Selenium and JUnit, increasing testing efficiency by 20% and enabling faster release cycles.
