Work Experience

Aetna-CVS - Software Development Engineer

June 2024 - July 2025

  • Project: Claims Processing Platform
  • API Development & Integration: Developed Nest.js backend services for basic HIPAA-compliant claims handling, integrating OAuth2 for API security. Connected third-party payment APIs like Stripe and ran load tests with JMeter to handle 500 concurrent users without crashes.
  • Frontend Enhancements: Built React.js components for claims dashboards, using Redux for state handling and Vanilla JavaScript for custom form validations that caught 15% more input errors upfront. Tweaked UI elements with CSS animations, cutting load times from 4 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
  • Data Management & Async Processing: Designed MongoDB schemas for claim storage, migrating 100,000 records from legacy SQL databases with zero data loss. Set up RabbitMQ for async claim validations, reducing processing delays by 35% and triggering email notifications for rejected claims.
  • DevOps & Deployment: Containerized apps with Docker and handled Kubernetes deployments. Debugged a pod crash by parsing ELK stack logs, enabling a quick rollback on two production clusters.
  • System Design & Monitoring: Collaborated on microservices for claim routing, using JWT for auth between services. Set up Prometheus alerts for queries over 500ms, leading to index optimizations that boosted throughput by 12%.
  • Testing: Wrote unit tests with Jasmine for frontend React components, covering 80% of the dashboard code, and used JUnit for backend service validations.
