About Me

I am a graduate student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and a Research Assistant focusing on distributed systems inefficiencies. I've previously worked as a JAVA enterprise application developer for Rakuten, a Japanese e-commerce giant, and BRAC, the world's largest NGO. In these roles, I handled application development, bug fixing, testing, documentation, deployment, performance testing and almost all cycles of Java microservices. As part of my managerial responsibilities, I analyzed requirements, sprint planning, and conducted daily huddles. My recent research involving Java microservices inefficiencies is published on the journal ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization.

BJIT Limited logo Senior Software Engineer - [Oct 2016 - Dec 2021]
BJIT Limited

  • Developed Spring Boot REST APIs, performed code review, and integrated SonarQube for code quality. Deployed APIs with Jenkins CI/CD, integrated Prometheus, and created Grafana visualizations for resource monitoring.
  • Implemented distributed tracing using the ELK stack, reducing fault detection time by 34% with Kibana visualizations. Additionally, documented API specifications, manuals, and designed data flow, class, and sequence diagrams to streamline knowledge transfer and enhance team efficiency.
  • Tested software including integration, regression, load, and stress tests on APIs, configuring alerts in Grafana for resource monitoring, resulting in a 20% faster testing phase.
  • Developed ESB application software using Mule Integration Platform. Utilized Mule Expression Language (MEL), wrote MUnit tests, and reduced development time by 21% with flow-based software design components.
  • Followed agile SDLC, led daily huddles, collaborative retrospectives, and presented sprint progress and challenges to offshore clients. Performed system design, requirements analysis, estimated, negotiated, and created tickets
