Experience
Senior Technical Lead
Company: Incedo Inc
Feb 2024 – Present · Client: US wealth-management firm
- Architected .NET Core microservices (REST and gRPC, exposed through Azure API Management), Azure Functions and React micro-frontends for the client's money-movement workflows: withdrawals, contributions, Roth conversions, journals and systematic withdrawal plans (SWPs). It lets thousands of advisors self-serve hundreds of transactions a day that the operations team previously processed by hand. Screens are server-driven: Xano APIs return JSON blueprints that React renders, so workflows change without frontend redeploys.
- Set API guardrails adopted across services: Redis-backed idempotency keys on transaction endpoints that block duplicate submissions and double money movement, optimistic concurrency with EF Core row versioning and conditional UPDATE … WHERE version checks, atomic Redis updates with Lua scripts, TTL-based distributed locks for cross-instance operations, and RFC 9457 Problem Details for consistent error contracts.
- Designed asynchronous transaction processing on Azure Service Bus with the Transactional Outbox pattern, idempotent consumers and dead-letter handling, so failed steps retry safely without losing or duplicating money movement.
- Introduced Architecture Decision Records and NFR design reviews, giving the squads a shared framework for settling design choices instead of ad-hoc debates; mentored engineers and leads on resiliency, concurrency and API design.
- Secured services with OAuth 2.0 / OIDC (Microsoft Entra ID), Managed Identity and Key Vault, and implemented fine-grained relationship-based access control (ReBAC) with Okta FGA (OpenFGA), modelling advisor users, their agent IDs and roles (office admin, agent, shared-access user) with each role's specific permissions, replacing per-service access checks.
- Set up Azure DevOps CI/CD with quality gates (xUnit and Testcontainers integration tests, code coverage, SAST and dependency scanning), Bicep-provisioned environments, and Grafana dashboards with SLO-based alerts, giving the frequent, low-risk releases and a shared view of service health.
- Drove AI-assisted development with GitHub Copilot and Claude Code across the organization, and led proofs of concept: a RAG prototype that generates API tests from the platform's OpenAPI specs, and replacing Azure Logic Apps workflows with Durable Functions for code-first, testable orchestration.

Projects
Context-Aware Generative AI for Automated API Test Generation
M.Tech dissertation, BITS Pilani | 2025 | RAG, LangChain, Mixtral-8x7B, Next.js, Supabase
- Built a full-stack Next.js application that turns OpenAPI / Swagger specs into ready-to-run API tests in Java (REST Assured), C# (RestSharp) and Python (Requests).
- Designed a RAG pipeline with LangChain: chunked specs and past test cases, embedded them with HuggingFace all-MiniLM-L6-v2, retrieved the top-k matches by semantic similarity, and combined them with conversation memory into prompts for Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct served through Together AI.
- Persisted projects, specs and test history in Supabase Postgres so every run builds on earlier context; compared with LLM-only generation, tests covered more positive and negative scenarios, matched the schema more closely and repeated less.
