- Architected and led development of a configuration-driven reporting and data aggregation platform for multiple Open Banking applications, enabling self-service report creation via YAML/JSON configurations and reducing report development time by 70%.
- Integrated machine learning models with configurable business logic for transaction classification, cutting model deployment cycles from months to weeks, improving scalability, and accelerating analytics delivery across teams.
- Designed and led asynchronous event processing framework with Python SDK and base classes to streamline event generation and consumption across microservices, reducing report generation and data processing time by 40–50%.
- Developed a GraphQL-based prototype to explore configurable report generation across APIs, uncovering scalability and schema management challenges that informed the design of a custom, production-ready Attribute Factory.
- Standardized data collection, transformation, and reporting, reducing maintenance overhead by 60% and enabling a future UI-based self-service reporting tool to be adopted enterprise-wide.
- Leadership & Collaboration Guided cross-functional teams in design, implementation, and deployment of complex reporting systems; mentored developers in event-driven architecture and best practices, fostering faster adoption and team scalability.
Lead Technology Consultant

February 2018
to February 2021
- Managed and enhanced eCube GUI, a web application for crawling and parsing website data using Python (Django/Flask), and mentored a team of 10 developers on Python best practices, frameworks, and scalable service design.
- Designed and implemented a high-performance web crawling system capable of handling 1,000,000+ URLs per day with RabbitMQ for distributed queuing and Python (Requests + Selenium) for adaptive scraping. System was self-healing and maintenance-free, monitoring metrics across Redis, MongoDB, and MySQL.
This led to a performance improvement from previous ~20 million data points/week with ~40% errors; to 50 million data points/week with only ~10% errors, achieving high throughput, reliability, and scalable data ingestion. - Developed a standardized crawler–parser template to customize scripts for diverse site structures while bypassing aggressive anti-bot mechanisms.
- Led end-to-end API design and client integration, including requirement gathering, microservices architecture, API documentation, and team guidance for implementation and deployment.
- Developed a high-performance API capable of serving 3 million SQL records in a single call (~1,000 records/sec), eliminating the need for chunking or pagination and enabling efficient, large-volume data delivery for client applications.
