Backend engineer with 3+ years of production experience. Own Java/Spring Boot microservices end to end: API design, persistence, auth, deployment, plus Python/FastAPI services on the
same platform. Led a monolith split into 3 services, cutting deploy time 40%+ with zero downstream downtime. Built the platform's hybrid retrieval layer (FAISS + BM25, cross-encoder
reranked), serving 50-100 users across 6+ teams at sub-1s latency.
- Own Java/Spring Boot microservices end to end: REST APIs, JWT/OAuth2 auth, RBAC, and Hibernate/JPA over
MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB, deployed on Docker/Kubernetes/AWS with Terraform provisioning and Prometheus/Grafana
monitoring.
- Led the split of a monolith into 3 independently deployable services (Maven, Gradle, 7 REST endpoints total), cutting deploy
time 40%+ with zero downtime for downstream services.
- Built the platform's hybrid retrieval layer: a 60/40-weighted ensemble of 20 dense FAISS candidates and 20 sparse BM25
candidates, cross-encoder reranked to the top 8, returning answers in under 1 second for 50-100 users across 6+ teams.
- Built an LLM test-case generator across 4 configurable domain profiles, producing 200-1,000 test cases per user story in ~100
seconds, with token/budget tracking to control LLM cost.
- Built a real-time dashboard pulling inventory and hardware-health data from EAI and internal DBs, replacing manual lookups
for a ~20-person fulfillment team.
