• Owned end-to-end delivery of backend REST APIs for healthcare and insurance workflows — from design through production — keeping data transformation consistent and error states handled cleanly across modules.

• Cut defect cycle time by catching regressions early through structured code reviews and thorough pre-deployment testing, reducing back-and-forth with QA on production releases.

• Worked directly with DevOps on CI/CD pipeline runs and deployment health checks, ensuring releases went out without blocking downstream teams.

• Built reusable React components consumed by the platform frontend, reducing duplication across modules and keeping data flow predictable end-to-end.
