Experience

Software Engineer · Qualys

Jan 2024 – Present

  • Designed and built a high-throughput, event-driven data processing pipeline using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Redis, improving scalability, resilience, and end-to-end processing efficiency.
  • Migrated a critical cross-service workflow from synchronous REST communication to Kafka-based asynchronous messaging, improving throughput, fault tolerance, and system decoupling.
  • Enhanced observability by integrating AppDynamics, structured logging, and detailed processing traces, enabling faster RCA and improved production debugging.
  • Leveraged AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate feature development, code refactoring, debugging, and technical design while maintaining production-quality standards.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to design backend solutions, define technical requirements, and deliver scalable features across multiple microservices.
  • Addressed security and platform stability by resolving Black Duck vulnerabilities, upgrading dependencies, and troubleshooting complex cross-service production issues.
