Work Experience

• Optimized API performance by integrating Redis caching with Node.js, reducing response times from 7–8 seconds to under 10 milliseconds for frequently accessed endpoints, significantly lowering backend load.

• Used the Sidecar pattern to add logging and authentication without changing the main backend code, improving scalability, simplifying updates, and enhancing overall maintainability.

• Refactored code using SonarQube, Dockerized microservices for consistency, and integrated Redis and Kafka to enhance caching and event-driven communication.

• Used TanStack Query for API data fetching and Zod to input validation, improving performance and reliability
