  • Metadata-driven pipelines and workflows
  • Dynamic business-rule engines
  • Configurable APIs and data-integration frameworks
  • Template-based code-generation solutions
  • Parameterized services and reusable components
  • Design and optimize configuration interpreters using JSON, YAML, and XML.
  • Implement configuration validation, versioning, auditing, rollback, backward compatibility, and error-handling capabilities.
  • Develop high-quality, reusable, and maintainable software using Python and/or Java.
  • Design SQL and NoSQL data models for storing, retrieving, auditing, and versioning business rules and system configurations.
  • Build and integrate solutions using Amazon EKS, AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB.
  • Develop REST APIs, asynchronous services, batch-processing components, and event-based integrations.
  • Implement automated unit, integration, component, and contract testing.
  • Integrate application components with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps deployment workflows.
  • Build, package, and deploy applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Implement application logging, monitoring, distributed tracing, dashboards, and alerting using Dynatrace.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and perform root-cause analysis across application, integration, data, and infrastructure layers.
  • Conduct code reviews and enforce engineering, security, performance, and maintainability standards.
  • Collaborate with architects, product owners, quality analysts, data engineers, DevOps engineers, and other developers.
  • Use Windsurf and other AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate development, refactoring, automated testing, troubleshooting, and technical documentation.
