About

Professional summary

I am a Senior API Developer with over 10 years of experience in middleware integration and API management technologies. I specialize in designing, developing, securing, and maintaining enterprise APIs and integration solutions.

I have hands-on experience with Apigee Edge, Apigee X, Azure API Management, WSO2 API Manager, Oracle Service Bus, Oracle BPM, and Oracle BPEL. My work includes REST APIs, SOAP web services, API proxies, shared flows, transformations, fault handling, and service contracts.

I build secure and scalable API solutions using OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, Basic Authentication, LDAP, throttling, quota management, spike arrest, caching, CORS, and traffic-management policies. I also work with API documentation standards including Swagger and OpenAPI Specification.

I have experience automating deployments through CI/CD pipelines and working with Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, Jenkins, JFrog, Jira, and related DevOps practices. I am familiar with cloud platforms including Azure, AWS, and GCP.

I monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize production API integrations using tools such as Splunk, AppDynamics, Elasticsearch, and Apigee Trace. I have worked in Agile teams, collaborated with business stakeholders, and guided junior developers through technical knowledge-transfer sessions.

My goal is to continue delivering reliable, secure, and high-performing API integration solutions while contributing technical leadership to API management and middleware development teams.
