• Defined and led performance, scalability, and reliability strategies across enterprise-scale
and microservices-based platforms.
• Planned and executed performance, load, stress, endurance, and scalability testing for
business-critical workflows.
• Identified performance bottlenecks across application, JVM, database, messaging, and
infrastructure layers.
• Conducted JVM and OS-level analysis (GC behavior, heap utilization, CPU, memory, I/O).

with DBAs.
• Partnered with engineering and DevOps teams to resolve performance regressions and
production risks.
• Executed deployment-to-deployment performance comparisons to assess impact of
releases and configuration changes.
• Reviewed system and infrastructure architectures, influencing performance-driven design
decisions.
• Led end-to-end performance testing across interconnected systems and external
dependencies.
