🏢 Professional Experience

Capital One | October 2022 – Present

Full Stack Developer (Subject Matter Expert / Architect) – Card Tech Domain: Onboarding & Account Setup (Full CI/CD Pipeline Ownership)

Large-Scale UI Delivery (ASU 2025): Spearheaded the end-to-end delivery of the core Account Setup Upgrade UI rebuild, driving the architectural migration to a modern Angular framework with NgRx state management. Coordinated ~100 PRs across a newly formed team, delivering a highly modular, production-ready feature serving all new cardholders within a 6-month timeline.
Modular Frontend Architecture: Designed a micro-frontend orchestration platform enabling external feature teams to plug in seamlessly via lazy-loaded components, interfacing via dependency injection tokens and the Dynamic Tile Engine (DTE).
Stateful Stream Processing & Backend Integrations: Engineered stateful stream processing logic for a high-concurrency Node.js and Kafka pipeline. Authored modular JavaScript transformers and filters to process out-of-order external data facets, leveraging DynamoDB to maintain state and generate derived materialized views for Paperless Settings.
Cross-Channel Feature Leadership: Owned UI leadership for the redesigned Early Spend Bonus (ESB) tracker, partnering cross-functionally across backend and mobile teams to execute a synchronized launch to all credit card customers in 8 months.
Production Troubleshooting:
- Debugged and resolved complex production dropping of Kafka messages, tracing root causes to unannounced external schema anomalies and implementing robust QA validation frameworks to prevent recurrences.
- Resolved edge-case WAF rules improperly filtering valid payloads.
Testing Automation: Led UI testing initiatives, establishing over 100+ comprehensive units, component, and E2E regression tests utilizing Jest and Playwright. Automated account reconditioning via backend APIs to streamline the testing lifecycle.

Java / J2EE Full Stack Developer Domain: Enterprise Tax Determination & Analytics Reporting

Cloud Modernization & Tool Selection: Headed the technical evaluation, Proof of Concept, and adoption of JasperServer to modernize an on-premise Crystal Reports application. Architected its containerized deployment onto AWS ECS-EC2, successfully hitting production release targets within 9 months while matching all 15 legacy reports and unlocking new extended data analytics capabilities.
Backend Services & Big Data Integrations: Designed Java and Spring Boot REST microservices intermediating queries to an AWS Redshift data lake. Assisted database engineers with deploying raw queries, tested EMR integrations, and implemented corporate Single Sign-On (SSO) architecture.
Cross-Platform Analytics via Alteryx: Designed and engineered a custom Python/JS backend connector using the SnakePlane framework, securely exposing paginated reporting REST APIs to Alteryx, which drastically accelerated adoption among non-developer analysts.
Performance & Infrastructure: Conducted rigorous system load testing using JMeter and VisualVM profiling. Orchestrated automated CI/CD pipelines via CloudFormation, CodePipeline, and CodeBuild.
Front-End Modernization (Certificate Manager): Engineered angular modules from scratch for the Certificate Manager cloud platform. Resolved a critical “zero-day” internet explorer serialization bug by seamlessly integrating the PDF.js parsing engine directly into the Angular application.
Java 11 Core Migrations: Designed a detailed 3-month roadmap to migrate the core Indirect Tax Determination Engine from Java 8 to Java 11. Coordinated complex database migrations and post-RDS upgrade debugging (triaging strict JDBC driver requirements).
Tax Determinations Engine Development: Built complex geographic tax rules—such as the Brazil Pauta Fiscal (Pharma Sector)—including automated XML data extraction strategies and implementing storage within DocumentDB and PostgreSQL.
