EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer, TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) Mar 2021 – Aug 2023
• Developed microservices in Spring Boot and Java, enabling employers to view payroll details, opt-in new employees,
opt-out existing employees and track current payroll processing status.
• Optimized large file processing in a Spring Boot service, scaling file handling capacity from 250 MB to 6.5 GB with Java
Streams and Spring WebClient, resolving heap memory issues enabling smooth file processing.
• Enhanced the security of Spring Boot services by 30% by implementing AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules,
protecting the application from malicious script injections and SQL injection attacks.
• Configured Apache Kafka for processing payroll requests, enhancing security with encryption and ACLs, and later
migrated to AWS MSK to improve fault tolerance with three Zookeeper clusters.
• Implemented a Java-based AWS Lambda Service to fetch and export server logs to S3, utilizing Eventbridge to trigger
the Java service based on schedule, enabling reduced API rate limits, and cutting storage costs by 20%.
Front End Engineer – Intern, Huddle Jan 2021 – Feb 2021
• Created a communication platform using React.js with features including users list, chat list and workspace creation,
and expanded it into a cross-platform desktop application with Electron.js for easier accessibility.
• Implemented multi-window feature for chat functionally, enabling separate chat windows for each user in the chat
list, improving multitasking and user experience.
• Optimized multiple API calls and UI rendering by reducing redundant requests and improving application performance
by effectively managing React.js lifecycle methods.
Project – Intern, Indian Customer Web Services (ICWS) Sep 2020 – Oct 2020
• Developed a cost calculator web application using React.js, implementing dynamic UI components and multi-select
options for the customers to provide the estimated cost of the desired project.
• Built cost calculation logic using RESTful APIs in Node.js and integrated MySQL for backend data management.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Thesis | ITS Student Worker, Texas A&M University - Kingsville Jan 2024 - Present
• Thesis – Genomic Sequence Alignment: Conducted in-depth research on developing scalable parallel algorithms for
genomic sequence alignment, focusing on optimizing runtime and memory efficiency.
• Designed an efficient sequence matching algorithm for identifying maximum similarity between two DNA sequences,
improving runtime by 37.98% and reducing memory usage by 74.45% than existing algorithms.
• Parallelized sequence matching algorithm across multiple processors in HPCC, reducing computational dependencies,
enhancing scalability and load balancing in a shared and distributed memory system using OpenMP and MPI.
• Student Worker – Information Technology (IT): Developed Java Services and SQL queries for different business
requirements, created user interfaces for staff to ease the process of information retrieval and report generation.
