Background

About Rahul Ben

Who Am I? I am a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with nearly 5 years of experience delivering scalable, cloud-native Java applications across financial and insurance domains. I specialize in building secure, event-driven microservices using Java 8/17, Spring Boot 3, and modern AWS cloud services like Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, RDS (PostgreSQL), EC2, and S3. My core strengths lie in designing high-performance RESTful APIs, integrating with Kafka, Apache Camel, and AWS SQS/SNS for real-time communication, and optimizing backend performance using distributed caching with Redis (ElastiCache) and EhCache. I've contributed to large-scale projects for clients like Lincoln Financial Group, where I improved service reliability, reduced latency, and accelerated deployment cycles using CI/CD with Jenkins, Docker, and AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild. I'm passionate about clean code, automation, and system design. Recognized for consistently going beyond expectations, I've received multiple awards at Accenture for innovation, ownership, and cross-functional collaboration. Where Can I Add Value? I bring end-to-end ownership and technical expertise in: Architecting and developing microservices to optimize and automate business processes. Building resilient APIs integrated with Kafka, SQS/SNS, and Apache Camel for asynchronous and event-driven workflows. Improving system performance and scalability using Redis (ElastiCache), EhCache, and PostgreSQL tuning. Implementing secure authentication and authorization using AWS Cognito and best practices in OAuth2. Writing robust unit and integration tests with JUnit and Mockito for high code coverage and maintainability. Streamlining deployments with Docker, Jenkins, and AWS-native CI/CD pipelines. Migrating legacy systems to modern cloud-native architectures without disrupting business operations. How Can You Reach Me?
