About Kavy

. With over eight years of experience delivering backend solutions for high-impact sectors such as banking, finance, and aviation, I bring a track record of designing scalable microservices, leading engineering teams, and optimizing cloud-native architectures.
At Speridian Technologies, I built robust Spring Boot microservices and Kafka-integrated systems for Emirates NBD, improving transaction reliability across multi-region banking platforms. As an Engineering Lead at Persistent Systems, I guided a seven-member team through the delivery of risk monitoring modules for the airline industry, leveraging RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and containerized deployments via Jenkins and OpenShift. My tenure at Infosys further solidified my expertise by modernizing UBS banking flows with Apache Camel, MyBatis, and CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.
Certified in Microsoft Azure (AZ-900) and well-versed in Agile delivery, I offer hands-on experience with Java 8/17, REST APIs, Kafka, Kubernetes, and microservices design patterns. I’m currently based in the UK and proactively seeking remote roles that align with my technical strengths and leadership capabilities.
