Led solution architecture, reusable component design, and external system integrations for an enterprise Underwriting platform managing insurance risks across multiple lines of business (Property, Fleet, Marine, Financial and Political Risks) Accomplishments: • Architected and implemented reusable, cloud-native integration services on Microsoft Azure (Azure Logic Apps, APIM, Key Vault, and Cosmos DB), accelerating feature delivery across multiple lines of business. Centralized deployment architecture streamlined releases across 13 environments spanning two major product releases • Designed and implemented a resilient event-driven messaging architecture using RabbitMQ for regulatory and statutory data feeds, achieving 100% reliable message delivery through fault-tolerant queues, error handling, and support for both sequential and parallel processing models • Led architecture and development of enterprise-scale external integrations across five insurance lines of business using . NET Framework and API-driven integrations, including CDL (vehicle lookup), D&B (company data), Geocoding & Peril Scoring, NorthDoor (vessel sanctions screening), and Claims APIs, enabling real-time underwriting decisions with high availability, reliability, and fault tolerance • Led performance optimization initiatives, resolving production bottlenecks (locking, deadlocks, indexing), improving system stability under load • Contributed to deployment on Azure Kubernetes Service, helping move from traditional deployments to scalable container-based environments. Evaluated SaaS alternatives for infrastructure components, in order to reduce operational overhead and improve maintainability • Contributed in pre-sales demos and solution discussions, thereby translating technical architecture into business value. Mentoring junior architects with high-level and low-level design

Led security architecture across five P&C insurance suite applications (Billing, Policy, Claims, DM, and Collections). Architected components for a model driven development platform used by three P&C insurance suite products Accomplishments: • Implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) across five applications integrating with third party identity providers like Microsoft Azure AD, Keycloak, Open AM using SAML 2.0 and OAuth2 • Secured enterprise APIs (REST & SOAP) using token-based authentication (JWT and OAuth2), aligning with modern API security standards • Addressed OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, working closely with VAPT teams to reduce security risks across the platform with 0 open critical & high defects • Re-architected components for container-based deployment (Azure Kubernetes Service, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm), enabling better scalability • Re-architected legacy document generator service using serverless architecture to decompose application services as a microservice using Spring Boot. Deployed these micro services on the OpenFaaS framework to auto scale using Kubernetes • Led effort for platform scalability and high availability by re-architecting workflow engine components, removing single point of failure for distributed deployments. Designed and implemented a task service module, increasing throughput and better handling of concurrent workloads • Delivered performance optimizations reducing latency, eliminating bottlenecks. Designed and developed performance and observability tooling, improving bottleneck identification speed by 50% • Played a key role in resolving database performance issues (SQL Server, Oracle) including deadlocks and slow queries. Led database and application server certification, ensuring portability across environments

Contributed to various projects like Financial, Taxation and workflow automation applications
