# Nikhil Giri > Software Developer 6+ Yrs Exp AI | Java Developer | FinTech, Retail, E-Commerce Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nikhilgiri Passionate and results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and building scalable distributed systems, high-availability microservices, and cloud-native platforms on AWS. My core expertise lies in Java, Spring Boot, distributed system design, and large-scale backend architecture, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and system scalability. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems through data structures, algorithms, and system design, and building resilient systems that can operate reliably under heavy traffic and distributed environments. In my recent roles, I have: • Built and scaled high-availability Spring Boot microservices on AWS EKS supporting 100K+ concurrent users and reducing checkout failures by 35%. • Designed Redis-based distributed locking and concurrency control mechanisms to prevent race conditions and ensure 99.9% accuracy in high-load booking systems. • Developed AI-powered RAG pipelines using GPT-4, LangChain, and Pinecone to enable semantic search over engineering logs, reducing root-cause analysis time by 40%. • Implemented Kafka-based event-driven architectures processing 100K+ messages per hour across distributed services with sub-second latency. • Improved platform reliability through observability, automated CI/CD pipelines, and containerized deployments on Kubernetes. Beyond engineering execution, I have strong experience in system design, performance optimization, distributed data consistency, and cloud infrastructure, along with building AI-powered developer productivity tools and data pipelines. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from California State University, Fullerton, where I focused on Distributed Systems, Algorithms, Machine Learning, and Advanced Databases. I’m passionate about building systems that scale to millions of users, solve real-world problems, and push the boundaries of modern backend engineering. Let’s connect and build something impactful. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Live Nation Entertainment Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Senior Software Developer @ Sopra Steria Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Delhi, India • Migrated a legacy traffic management system to a distributed architecture using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles and Spring Cloud, improving scalability and modularity by 50%. • Designed and implemented 20+ microservices with Spring Boot, Hibernate ORM, PostgreSQL integrating them via MuleSoft to streamline inter-service communication. • Designed and implemented event-driven architecture with Kafka for real-time data exchange, improving response speed by 40% and synchronization efficiency across distributed services. • Automated CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI/CD and Jenkins, reducing deployment time by 40%. ### Software Developer @ Sopra Steria Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Delhi, India • Developed Spring Batch jobs processing 2M+ daily inventory records for E.Leclerc POS using AWS Lambda, S3, and MS SQL Server, boosting retail operations and ensuring fast product access for 1M+ monthly users. • Architected and optimized GraphQL schemas and resolvers to minimize over/under-fetching by 40%, ensuring seamless data flow between microservices and dynamic Angular and React JS frontends. • Automated grocery data validation with Oracle PL/SQL scripts, improving data consistency by 30%.
