Senior Software Engineer

Altimetrik India (Contractor — WEX Health)
Client: Modern Benefits Platform | Claims Web API & Consumer Claims Micro-Frontend | FSA/HSA/HRA Consumer-Directed Accounts
  • Designed and shipped a participant-facing claim filing-eligibility API to production spanning controller, CQRS query handler, orchestration service, side-effect-free rules engine, and stored-procedure settings repository with OpenAPI client.
  • Implemented five-level configuration resolution with per-setting merge semantics falling back from specific scope to global defaults; scoped 4 of 7 checks out to preserve bounded contexts.
  • Diagnosed EF Core DbContext thread-safety failures under parallel execution; fixed 6 behavioral divergences from legacy pre-PR and locked in with regression tests.
  • Strengthened multi-tenant query scoping, tenant-isolation boundaries, and hardened database shard resolution across receipt-download and claim-filing paths.
  • Authored JMeter load tests at 75 concurrent users and 600 RPM: measured p95 of 3.3s and p99 of 4.2s across 4,061 samples at 0% errors against a 2s QA SLA.
  • Delivered Consumer Claims transfer-method MFE (React 19, TypeScript, Vite) replacing wizard step with review dialog across 11 locales with Vitest & RTL test suite.
  • Remediated critical XSS vulnerability across 4 legacy WCF services with custom JSON serialization HTML escaping and feature flag rollout.
  • Delivered HSA investment onboarding custom text end to end across legacy .NET Framework strangler service and .NET Core BFF fronting it; validated in ReadyAPI.

Project Engineer

Wipro Ltd (Client: FedEx Australia)
Client: Cross-Platform Mobile Engineer | Courier Express Platform
  • Developed and maintained cross-platform mobile features for courier and express logistics application using C#, .NET, Xamarin.Forms, and .NET MAUI with MVVM architecture and SQLite local persistence.
  • Integrated RESTful APIs over HTTPS and analysed request/response contracts and application flows across the codebase to support feature delivery and defect investigation.
  • Wrote and optimized SQL queries for data retrieval and reporting, reducing redundant database calls and improving application responsiveness.
  • Performed unit testing and debugging across multiple app modules in an Agile/Scrum environment, resolving defects ahead of release.
  • Recognized with the Panache Best Newcomer Award for independently resolving complex design-flow issues within two months of joining.
