Design and architect microservices-based systems, APIs (REST/GraphQL), and event-driven integrations. Define database strategies, ensure performance, resiliency, and security (OAuth2/mTLS/JWT). Guide DevOps practices (CI/CD, Terraform), messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and legacy-to-microservices modernization using patterns like Strangler.
- Microservices Expertise: Deep understanding of microservices principles, including service decomposition, bounded contexts, and database strategies (e.g., shared databases, per-service databases).
- API Development: Expertise in developing RESTful and GraphQL APIs and implementing API security, rate limiting, and throttling.
- Messaging Systems: Experience with asynchronous messaging systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka) and event-driven architectures.
- Database Technologies: Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and strong knowledge of database design patterns for microservices.
- DevOps Practices: Familiarity with DevOps tools and practices, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform), and cloud-native deployment.
- Performance and Resilience: Strong understanding of performance optimization, fault tolerance, and resiliency patterns (e.g., Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, Retry).
- Security Best Practices: In-depth knowledge of securing microservices architectures, including OAuth2, mTLS, and JWT.
- Experience with Frontend Frameworks: Familiarity with frontend technologies (React, Angular, Vue.js) for building full-stack solutions is a plus.
- Experience with Legacy Modernization: Knowledge and experience with migrating legacy systems to microservices architecture, including the use of the Strangler pattern.
