Develop Java 17, Go, and Python microservices and serverless architecture on AWS ECS Fargate and EKS for containerized workloads, Python-based Lambda functions for event-driven processing, API Gateway for partner-facing endpoints. Build REST APIs backed by DynamoDB (GSI-based lookups, paginated queries) and Aurora / RDS for relational data; document interfaces with Swagger / OpenAPI. Use AWS Step Functions and EventBridge to orchestrate Lambda-based workflows and replace polling-based logic; built Spark (Scala / PySpark) jobs on Databricks to process high-volume transaction data from the S3-based data lake into Snowflake for downstream analytics. Provision AWS networking and security VPC-aware deployments, ALB / NLB target groups, security groups, IAM roles backed by AWS KMS and Secrets Manager; authored Authorization policies using OPA (Open Policy Agent) to restrict access to AWS-deployed resources. Implement OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow with thread-safe token caching and AWS Secrets Manager rotation contributing to a security uplift that reduced auth-related incidents. Architect and operate Apache Kafka streaming pipelines (idempotent producers, DLQ handling, consumer group rebalancing) for high-traffic transaction workflows; implemented JMS notifications for process success/failure alerting. Tune database query performance through connection pooling and prepared-statement caching individual contributions cut query latency on targeted reporting workloads by ~35%; designed dynamic schema solutions using Cassandra for key-value analytics storage. Build Jenkins and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines using Maven and Gradle, deploying container images to ECR with blue-green release strategies; integrate Checkmarx SAST and SonarQube code quality scans into pipelines. Set up centralized observability with CloudWatch metrics / alarms, AWS X-Ray, Splunk dashboards, and New Relic APM contributing to measurable MTTR reduction on owned services. Gathered and monitored API Gateway logs using Splunk SPL queries, reports, and dashboards; analyzed logs to verify deployments in pre-production and production environments. Designed and implemented scalable Azure-backed solutions including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and Azure Load Balancer for hybrid cloud workloads. Author Python and Bash automation scripts for internal tooling and pipeline validation; leverage AI-assisted tools including Claude Code for code generation, debugging, and documentation to accelerate development workflows. - Designed and deployed a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server at Capital One exposing internal developer tooling and data access APIs to AI agents enabling structured, secure interactions between LLM-based systems and enterprise services. - Built Agentic AI workflows for automated data retrieval and analysis, integrating MCP-exposed endpoints to support multi-step autonomous pipelines that surface actionable insights from internal data sources. - Adopted spec-driven development for all partner-facing APIs authored OpenAPI 3.0 contracts in YAML first, used them to generate Spring Boot stubs via OpenAPI Generator and validate request/response schemas at the API Gateway layer; contract files versioned in Git and enforced via CodePipeline quality gates, cutting integration mismatches with external partners. Provide hands-on technical leadership across frontend and backend led technical design reviews, conducted code reviews to enforce coding standards and best practices, and mentored junior engineers on service boundaries, resilience patterns, and non-functional requirements. Part of rotational on-call rotation incident triage, root-cause analysis, post-deployment validation, and runbook updates via ServiceNow and PagerDuty.
