About Me
Driven by curiosity and a strong problem-solving mindset, I have built scalable full-stack solutions across Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, Angular, and modern JavaScript frameworks. I have designed secure backend services, dynamic UIs, automated data pipelines, and reporting systems with optimized performance through multithreading, query tuning, and efficient data handling.
I have implemented integrations, extensions, and workflow-simplifying components that enhance usability and system efficiency. My experience has enabled me to design robust architectures, automate data processing across diverse databases, and deliver solutions that are maintainable, reliable, and production-ready. These projects have strengthened my ability to approach challenges analytically, explore alternative solutions, and convert ideas into impactful engineering outcomes.
Experience
Akamai Technologies
- Platform & Application Development – Designed and delivered features for multi-tier internal platforms involving workflow automation, reporting, data processing, and integrations. Built REST APIs, backend logic, and UI enhancements using Java, Spring Boot, and JavaScript frameworks.
- Distributed Systems & Performance – Improved performance through optimized queries, indexing, caching, and asynchronous processing. Refactored system components for cleaner architecture and reliable multi-node deployments.
- Cloud Engineering & Infrastructure – Built automated cloud environments using Infrastructure-as-Code principles. Designed scalable cluster setups and provisioning workflows with Ansible. Explored Kubernetes orchestration, secure networking, and container-based deployment patterns.
- Platform Reliability & Operations – Performed OS upgrades, dependency updates, certificate rotations, and environment migrations for production systems. Automated recurring tasks such as Java upgrades, certificate renewals, and cleanup routines.
- CI/CD & Developer Productivity – Enabled CI/CD pipelines for consistent build and deployment workflows. Standardized internal tooling and processes to improve efficiency across engineering teams.
USEReady
Reporting Application
Architected and developed features for a Spring Boot–based reporting application enabling custom report generation using dynamic data pipelines. Built REST APIs for authentication, data transformation, file upload/download; secured with JWT. Improved performance with multithreading via Java Concurrency APIs. Built a custom scheduler supporting recurring "Outlook-style" triggers.
Excel Add-in
Architected and solely developed an Excel plugin for data extraction, streaming, and scheduled exports. Streamed large CSV data using WebSockets. Built a custom scheduler and a dynamic JSON-driven UI renderer for configurable form generation.
On-Demand Reporting (BIRT)
Built backend logic for data transformations and multi-format report generation (PDF, XLSX, DOCX, PPT, HTML, CSV) with complex dynamic layouts using Eclipse BIRT.
Tableau Filter Extension
Developed a Tableau extension enabling seamless filter/parameter transfer across dashboards using Tableau Extensions API with localStorage-based persistence and a Node.js backend for event logging.
Mu Sigma Inc.
Developed an automated pipeline to fetch data from Teradata, DB2, SQL Server, Hive, etc., compressing and encrypting files to remote servers and Azure Storage Blobs. Built a web application with Angular 8 and Node.js (Express) to trigger data extraction from the UI.
JavaScript Trainer and Consultant for UI technologies. Developed WeChat POC to integrate WeChat with existing web applications using Node.js for messaging and feature-based responses.
VLR Tool
Designed entire architecture and developed an interactive 3D visualisation Web Application for a large retailer's modular review process with one-click report generation, minimising manual effort and enabling better decision making.
MRM Tool
Frontend development for a marketing retention tool enabling personalised campaigns via customer segmentation based on purchase behaviour and attributes.
Innovation – Pan-Tilt Camera
Designed and built an end-to-end remotely controllable Pan-Tilt Camera setup — hardware prototype to Python-controlled deployment — enabling Video Analytics for a major airline client to improve passenger on-boarding experience.
