Syam Kumar

I am a Software Engineer with 3 years of hands-on experience in developing and deploying cloud-native applications, REST APIs, and robust CI/CD pipelines. I have a proven track record of significantly reducing post-release defects by 30% and cutting manual testing by 50% through comprehensive test automation and DevOps best practices. My expertise spans full-stack development across distributed systems, and I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments. I excel at leading teams, building and deploying full-stack web applications for nonprofit clients using Agile/Scrum methodologies, managing projects from scoping to on-time delivery. I'm proficient in developing and shipping REST API-integrated web applications using Next.js, React, and Node.js, often leveraging AI-assisted development tools to reduce deployment time by 40%. I also have experience building and maintaining internal microservices tools to improve operational workflows. My CI/CD skills include building and maintaining Maven/TestNG pipelines and shell scripts for regression and API tests, which has led to a 30% reduction in post-release defects. I collaborate with Test Architects and DevOps teams to resolve testing dependencies, package test suites as Docker images, and design Terraform modules for on-demand QA environments. I’m skilled in creating unit and integration test cases, increasing automated test coverage, and validating Kubernetes-based QA clusters. My project experience includes developing AI-powered visual fashion search apps with React, Supabase, and AI image analysis, and full-stack movie recommendation platforms using Next.js, React, and TypeScript. I am dedicated to delivering reliable software features and improving system reliability through continuous integration and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
