Hi, I'm Vinod Kumar M 👋

Lead Software Engineer | Java | Spring Boot | Microservices | Kafka | AWS | React

I am a Lead / Senior Software Engineer with nearly 15 years of experience designing and building scalable backend, cloud-native, event-driven, and full-stack enterprise applications.

My core expertise includes Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, REST APIs, Kafka, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Redis, React, React Native, TypeScript, and Distributed Systems.

Currently, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Airties, focusing on AI-driven platforms for device intelligence, behavioral analytics, telemetry processing, and real-time risk assessment.


🤝 Open Source Contributions

I actively contribute to open-source projects across the Java ecosystem, Spring ecosystem, backend engineering, developer tooling, cloud-native systems, test reliability, diagnostics, and code maintainability.

Open Source Impact

25+ merged PRs across Java/Spring ecosystem projects including Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Mockito, Jenkins, Byte Buddy, Apache Dubbo, Apache Seata, Micrometer, JUnit, Caffeine, Floci, and Testcontainers-related tooling.

Focus areas:

  • Java modernization
  • Test reliability
  • Documentation clarity
  • Type-safety improvements
  • Framework-level code cleanup
  • Diagnostics and developer experience
