Team Lead - Software Engineering | AI Platform & System Modernization
EPAM Systems
Jan 2026 - Present
Acting Team Lead architecting AI-native engineering workflows — from a production MCP server to agentic SDLC automation — while leading migration of legacy monolithic systems to high-performance microservices.
- ▸Architected and deployed a production MCP server exposing .NET codebase analysis as agent-consumable tools, with hallucination-resistant schemas, retry orchestration, failure containment, and CloudWatch invocation observability — adopted as the team-wide Claude Code standard
- ▸Lead migration of legacy monolithic systems to high-performance RESTful microservices, improving API response times and reducing technical debt across service domains
- ▸Built a RAG pipeline (ChromaDB) grounding SDLC agents in internal knowledge as part of a GenAI hackathon solution adopted by the product team; defined agent observability standards — CloudWatch tracing and quality gates in GitHub Actions CI/CD
- ▸Designed tool schemas, abstraction layers, custom skills, and slash commands — reaching AI Maturity Level 3 across the team
- ▸Mentor 11 engineers in .NET best practices, system design, and cloud-native development through weekly technical sessions and structured code reviews
- ▸Collaborate with clients and architects on AWS infrastructure evaluation and cloud-native solution design
Senior Software Engineer | SHA System Modernisation
EPAM Systems
Jan 2025 - Dec 2025
Led design and zero-issue production rollout of a Hangfire-based workflow orchestration platform replacing a legacy batch system, with idempotency guarantees and real-time observability.
- ▸Authored the Batch Migration design document and led zero-issue production rollout of a Hangfire background job framework with configurable retry, idempotency guarantees, and failure containment
- ▸Investigated a WCF service outage blocking the Hangfire job queue; performed RCA and recommended a targeted revert that fully recovered production
- ▸Designed a high-throughput queueing system with retry policies, reducing job failure rate by 30% and eliminating manual intervention for 90% of failure scenarios
- ▸Implemented WebSocket-based real-time progress notifications replacing polling, reducing server load by 25% and delivering sub-500ms user feedback
- ▸Added build verification steps, Flyway DB migration checks in CI/Git hooks, and a release branching strategy using GitHub Actions
- ▸Refactored legacy ASP.NET applications applying SOLID principles, reducing average response latency by 20%
Senior Software Engineer | Corporate Tax Platform
EPAM Systems
Jul 2024 - Dec 2024
Authored the REST API modernisation design standard for the platform — deterministic contracts, versioning, and schema consistency — and resolved deep performance bottlenecks.
- ▸Authored a REST API modernisation design document with deterministic contracts, versioning, and schema consistency, targeting ~50% performance improvement; adopted as the team architectural standard
- ▸Performed deep performance profiling and root-cause analysis on complex .NET systems, reducing average page load time by 40%
- ▸Improved code quality standards by introducing .editorconfig conventions and Verify end-to-end integration tests, adopted across the platform
- ▸Evaluated AWS infrastructure configuration, recommending RDS optimisation and Lambda concurrency adjustments resulting in 20% cost reduction
- ▸Led cross-team architectural alignment sessions across ASP.NET, .NET Core, Angular, and PostgreSQL
Senior Software Engineer & Team Lead
ValueMomentum
2022 - Jun 2024
Scaled the InsurTech platform through AWS re-architecture, microservices migration, and CI/CD adoption, driving a 60% revenue increase and 40% error reduction.
- ▸Proposed and implemented AWS infrastructure re-architecture resolving bulk quote conversion failures — directly contributing to a 60% revenue increase within two quarters
- ▸Pioneered CI/CD pipeline adoption using GitHub Actions across 5 services, reducing release cycles from 2 weeks to 3 days (50% efficiency gain)
- ▸Orchestrated migration from monolithic to microservices architecture with event-driven pub-sub communication, reducing system errors by 40% and improving fault isolation
- ▸Designed an automated batch job system replacing manual processes, saving the service team 2 full working days per week (104 days annually)
- ▸Built a DynamoDB-backed data access layer supporting high-throughput insurance transaction processing at 99.9% availability SLA
- ▸Mentored 5 engineers through structured code reviews and pair programming; 2 promoted to Senior level
