I worked as a Software Engineer at IT Ridge Technologies, where I designed and developed core backend services using Java and Spring Boot for a high-volume e-commerce platform. My work focused on building RESTful APIs to support product management, inventory and stock tracking, and end-to-end order processing workflows, with a strong emphasis on data consistency across downstream systems. I introduced Apache Kafka–based asynchronous messaging to handle order status changes and email notifications, improving system decoupling and enabling near-real-time customer communication. I also owned the setup and enhancement of a Jenkins-driven CI/CD pipeline, automating build, test, and deployment processes and significantly reducing manual release effort. I worked within an Agile (SCRUM) environment, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams through sprint planning, code reviews, and design discussions to deliver reliable, high-quality backend features on schedule.
