As a Software Engineer at TipTop Technologies, I built and scaled News360 “Topic Insights,” a Solr-powered enterprise analytics feature that surfaces top-ranked entities with year-over-year changes across 10+ categories. I improved high-traffic SQL Server + API endpoints by 45% through query refactoring, indexing, and execution plan tuning. I also increased data pipeline freshness and reliability by 60% by shipping Python refresh pipelines, Dockerized services, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and AWS monitoring, helping sustain 99.9% uptime.

➤ Built News360 “Topic Insights” using Apache Solr time-range queries + faceting across 10+ entity categories, surfacing top-50 ranked entities with YoY deltas for enterprise analytics.

➤ Improved SQL Server + API performance by 45% by refactoring T-SQL, adding indexes, and tuning execution plans for high-traffic endpoints.

➤ Increased pipeline freshness and reliability by 60% throughput via Python batch refresh pipelines, Containerized microservices, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and AWS (ALB/EC2) monitoring, sustaining 99.9% uptime.

As a Software Developer at iConsult Collaborative (Syracuse University), I modernized data pipelines processing 2M+ records by migrating workloads to Azure Functions and optimizing SQL Server/T-SQL performance, improving throughput by 60%. I also reduced redundant backend executions by 80% by redesigning Node.js (JS/TS) services around optimized stored procedures, and delivered secure REST microservice APIs with clear data-flow documentation so teams could consume analytics consistently.

➤ Modernized pipelines processing 2M+ records, improving throughput by 60% by migrating workloads to Azure Functions and optimizing SQL Server interactions.

➤ Reduced redundant backend executions by 80% by redesigning Node.js services (JS/TS) around optimized T-SQL stored procedures.

➤ Delivered secure RESTful microservice APIs and documented data flows + API contracts to ensure consistent analytics access across teams.

➤ Designed and delivered lectures and hands-on labs covering visualization principles, chart selection, and data storytelling for technical and non-technical audiences

➤ Guided students through end-to-end assignments: cleaning data, exploring trends, and presenting insights using modern visualization tools and Python workflows

➤ Evaluated projects, provided detailed feedback, and mentored students on best practices for dashboards, visual design, and communicating results clearly

As a Java Software Engineer at Cognizant, I improved performance and data reliability across enterprise reporting systems. I reduced SQL Server latency by 40% for 5K+ users by redesigning schemas, tuning high-traffic T-SQL stored procedures, and optimizing execution plans. I also improved data integrity by 70% using constraints, triggers, and normalization, and integrated automated SQL validation into Jenkins CI/CD, cutting production defects by 35%.
