Monolith to Microservices Migration
Large-scale System Transformation
Led the migration of a large monolithic system into microservices architecture using Change Data Capture (CDC), Debezium, and Apache Kafka. Designed event-driven patterns that enabled seamless data synchronization and improved system scalability while maintaining data consistency across services.
Complex Workflow Orchestration
Temporal-based Systems
Implemented sophisticated business workflows using Temporal, enabling reliable execution of long-running processes with built-in retry mechanisms, compensation logic, and state management. Designed fault-tolerant systems that handle complex business scenarios across distributed services.
Domain-Specific Microservices
E-commerce, Payments & Healthcare Systems
Built and deployed microservices for e-commerce and healthcare, focusing on domain-driven design principles and clear API boundaries for business capabilities.
