The Challenge

State Farm's mobile app needed a unified API layer to aggregate responses from multiple backend services. There were monitoring gaps and no consolidated view of system performance.

My Approach

  • Coded REST API modules using builder design pattern in Java/J2EE
  • Developed Splunk dashboard for log analysis and performance reporting
  • Implemented synthetic monitoring with Selenium
  • Migrated from Websphere 6.1 to 8.5
  • Partnered with engineering manager to define KPIs and reporting processes
