    August 2022 - September 2025 (3 years and 1 month)
    United Kingdom
    Designed and built domain‑driven REST APIs; contract‑first OpenAPI specifications, versioning strategy, pagination/sort/filter, request validation, and a standardised error model (problem‑details). Implemented Keycloak + OAuth2/JWT for core authentication; client‑credentials for service‑to‑service flows; secure endpoint configuration with Spring Security. Delivered core services with Spring Boot + JPA/Hibernate; added idempotency guards and retry‑safe patterns for critical operations.
    Implemented Kafka-based event processing to track when users entered or left geofenced retail locations, enabling reliable, near-real-time location checks. Used RabbitMQ for reliable messaging between microservices, improving decoupling and fault tolerance in critical flows. Introduced Redis caching and async processing to remove hotspots. Set up GitHub Actions CI/CD; built Docker images and a multi‑stage pipeline (build→test→package→deploy); semantic versioning and release notes automation.
