Professional Summary
Senior Full Stack (MERN) + Cloud Engineer with 3.9+ years of experience building and scaling product-grade systems for a fintech platform at Agrow. Specialized in delivering secure, high-performance microservices using MongoDB, vue.js, React/React Native, Node.js, and Python. Designed resilient cloud architectures on AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda) with strong focus on uptime, security, and regulatory compliance. Implemented Nginx reverse proxy, rate limiting, security headers, API key auth, and fully automated CI/CD pipelines. Frontend expert in React, Next.js, Vite with emphasis on UX, SEO, and Core Web Vitals. Hands-on with Strapi, Redis, Kafka, NATS, Kubernetes, and event-driven patterns for low-latency fintech workflows.
Work Experience
- Led development of an AI workflow automation platform (similar to n8n/Make) that increased workflow creation speed by 40% and enabled 500+ integrations.
- Integrated Strapi CMS with webhooks and ontology metadata, reducing manual CMS–service sync efforts by 50%.
- Automated E2E tests with Playwright and managed CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, cutting deployment errors by 30% and improving pipeline efficiency by 40%.
- Built high-performance full-stack apps with React, Angular, Next.js, achieving 25–30% faster load times through optimized REST APIs (caching, pagination, rate limiting, JWT/OAuth2).
- Executed monolith-to-microservices migration, reducing system coupling by 50%, improving service scalability by 30%, and standardizing API contracts and observability.
- Owned end-to-end architecture and delivery for the Greattr Fintech Suite: React/React Native apps, Node/Express microservices, PostgreSQL/MSSQL/MongoDB.
- Built complete AWS infrastructure (S3 + CloudFront frontend, EC2/ECS backend) with blue/green deployments using Docker and GitHub Actions.
- Integrated large-scale third-party services: KYC/eKYC (Aadhaar/OKYC), payments, SMS/email, maps, analytics, push notifications (FCM/SES/SNS), fraud detection APIs.
- Implemented hardened Nginx edge gateway with TLS, API keys, strict CORS, security headers, and rate limiting; strengthened Linux host security.
- Delivered pixel-perfect UIs using React, Next.js, Vite, React Native with design-system governance, WCAG accessibility, and performance budgets.
- Boosted performance using raw SQL hot paths (no ORM), Redis lazy caching, async queues (Bull/BullMQ), and idempotent workflows for reliable transactions.
- Engineered automation workflows that boosted team productivity by 30%+, reducing repetitive manual effort across deployments and monitoring.
- Supported and enhanced enterprise apps on Azure & AWS using React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB for highly available distributed systems.
- Designed and automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Docker, Bash & Python, reducing delivery cycle time and lowering project costs by 20%.
- Refactored and optimized database queries and indexes, reducing DB size by 50% and improving performance by 20%.
- Built internal tools and reusable modules that improved code consistency and accelerated development workflows.
Projects
- --Served as DRI for Boltic's automation foundation spanning workflow builder, STRAPI's CMS/data hub, EXPRESS orchestration, and Eventer ingestion so teams can design 500+ integrations without touching infra.
- --Productized BRAN as an AI-assisted, no-code composer with prompt-to-workflow scaffolding, reusable templates, and reversible deploys powering the public apps catalog.
- --Hardened EXPRESS + Eventer on EKS with Kafka/NATS-backed retries, multi-tenant secret isolation, and autoscaled job orchestration to hit 40% faster workflow creation and 30% higher throughput.
- --Automated documentation at docs.boltic.io, keeping release notes, integration metadata, and workflow samples synchronized with CMS updates without exposing the underlying services.
- --Built role-based auth and REST APIs with secure Linux deployments; responsive UI using React + Vite + Tailwind.
- --Implemented AWS SNS for real-time notifications and modular backend services ready for mobile expansion.
- --Greenfield AWS build: S3 + CloudFront frontend, EC2/ECS backend, Docker pipelines, and hardened Linux servers.
- --Delivered pixel-perfect UIs with React, Next.js, Vite, React Native; integrated design tokens and theme management.
- --Implemented Nginx gateway with TLS, API keys, rate limiting, strict CORS; optimized raw SQL hot paths and Redis caching.
- --Added rich integrations: KYC/eKYC, payments, FCM, SMS/email, analytics, maps; dashboards for real-time merchant insights.
- --Scaled Angular + Node onboarding flows supporting OKYC Aadhaar eKYC, digital signatures, Cypress E2E suites, and Dockerized CI/CD.
