Software Engineer — Capital One Financial

USA • Jun 2025 – Present
  • Client/Product: High-volume banking systems for real-time payments, fraud analysis, and transaction workflows.
  • Project: Real-Time Payments & AI-Assisted Fraud Analysis Platform
  • Problem: Banking workflows required low-latency transaction processing, asynchronous event handling, high availability, and better analyst support for fraud investigation.
What I Built
  • Built fintech microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud to support real-time payment and transaction workflows across banking channels.
  • Migrated legacy transaction flows to an event-driven model using Apache Kafka to support asynchronous processing of transactions and notifications.
  • Built AI-assisted workflows using Python, FastAPI, RAG pipelines, vector embeddings, and LLM APIs for fraud analysis and financial document querying.
  • Deployed cloud-native services on AWS and Kubernetes and automated CI/CD using Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Impact
  • Increased system throughput by 30% by moving transaction workflows to Kafka-based asynchronous processing.
  • Reduced API response latency by 40% through Redis caching and PostgreSQL query tuning.
  • Reduced manual investigation effort by 40% using RAG-based querying for financial documents and customer interactions.
  • Maintained 99.9% uptime for cloud-native banking applications through AWS and Kubernetes deployment patterns.
