AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT VALIDATION01 / 03
SPRING BOOT / REACT / CI/CD
Deployment-validation platform
Automated pre- and post-deployment health checks across enterprise applications, with real-time feedback integrated into internal CI/CD pipelines.
Explore my contribution +
Backend services
Built Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs for configuration management, rule-based validation, deployment metadata, and system-health monitoring.
Deployment visibility
Developed React interfaces to display validation results, deployment insights, and application health. Processed Splunk and Enterprise Log Framework data to automate validation decisions.
Performance and quality
Implemented Kafka-based asynchronous communication and Redis caching, improving response time by 20% under high load. Created JUnit and Mockito tests and validated PostgreSQL and MongoDB migrations.

CRM application development
Built CRM features for customer information, business interactions, user activity, and everyday operational workflows.
Explore my contribution +
Application development
Connected AngularJS interfaces to Java backend services with REST APIs. Implemented business logic and relational data access using SQL and JPA/Hibernate.
Reliable delivery
Wrote unit tests, resolved application defects, and participated in code reviews. Collaborated with developers, QA engineers, and business stakeholders throughout the Agile delivery cycle.

LLM + RETRIEVAL-AUGMENTED GENERATION03 / 03
LLM / RAG / DEPLOYMENT DATA
Deployment failure insights
Developing an LLM and RAG-based workflow that summarizes deployment failures and retrieves similar historical incidents.
Explore the approach +
Historical context
The workflow uses historical deployment data to retrieve relevant past incidents and provide context around failures.
Current focus
Combining failure summaries with similar-incident retrieval to support investigation. This work is in development.
