Experience
Software Engineer
TapQwik Software Private Limited
Bengaluru
Architected and delivered scalable microservice-based backend systems using Java 8+, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and MySQL — sustaining high-volume transactional loads across e-commerce and hotel booking platforms, improving system scalability by ~30%. Designed and maintained production RESTful APIs with versioning, error contracts, pagination, and full Swagger/OpenAPI documentation for seamless frontend and third-party integration. Reduced API response times through Redis caching, JPA query optimization, smart pagination, and lean payload design across critical high-traffic endpoints. Implemented Apache Kafka event-driven pipelines for async inter-service communication — improving system decoupling, fault tolerance, and real-time notification delivery. Deployed containerized applications on AWS EC2 and S3 using Docker + Jenkins CI/CD pipelines — reducing deployment time by ~25% and eliminating manual release effort. Achieved 85%+ unit test coverage with JUnit 5 and Mockito; enforced SonarQube quality gates — zero critical production defects across all releases. Applied SOLID principles and GoF design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Builder, Observer) to deliver extensible, maintainable, and reusable backend components. Optimized API performance end-to-end via structured logging (Log4j/Logback), Redis caching, and SQL query profiling — achieving consistent latency improvements across all critical services. Led UAT and production release coordination with QA and DevOps teams; maintained full Swagger API documentation enabling rapid developer onboarding. Collaborated in Agile/Scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives — delivering 100% sprint commitments consistently using JIRA and Confluence.

KEY PROJECTS
Philips E-Commerce Platform
Stack: Java 8+, Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, AWS EC2/S3, Docker, JUnit 5, Swagger/OpenAPI Architected end-to-end e-commerce backend for Philips Electronics covering product catalogue, inventory management, cart, order processing, and secure payment integration using Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate. Designed high-performance REST APIs for catalog management, pricing rules, promotional offers, and user sessions — integrated with frontend and third-party payment gateways. Integrated Apache Kafka for async processing of order confirmations, inventory updates, and real-time notifications between microservices — improving system resilience. Boosted system throughput via Redis caching and SQL query optimization — reducing DB load and delivering faster end-user experience across high-traffic endpoints. Enforced input validation, exception handling, and security controls — zero critical security incidents post-launch; delivered full Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. Achieved 85%+ test coverage through JUnit 5 and Mockito test suites; deployed on AWS EC2 with Jenkins CI/CD — zero critical rollbacks across all production releases.
Trivago – Hotel Booking Platform
Stack: Java 8+, Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, AWS, Docker, SonarQube, Log4j/Logback Built high-concurrency hotel booking backend supporting real-time room availability, dynamic pricing, booking lifecycle, cancellations, and customer management at scale. Designed date-aware RESTful APIs for availability search, booking workflows, and payment integrations — seamless frontend and third-party service connectivity. Modelled optimized JPA/Hibernate relational mappings across hotels, rooms, bookings, and customers — ensuring ACID-compliant transactional accuracy under concurrent user load. Integrated Apache Kafka for async processing of booking events, ticket confirmations, and push notifications — decoupling services and improving fault tolerance. Cut query latency via Redis caching, efficient serialization, and smart pagination — achieving sub-200ms response times for room availability APIs. Validated 100% of critical booking flows with JUnit & Mockito tests; enforced SonarQube quality gates — zero critical findings across all production releases.
