JPMorgan Chase & Co. — Payments

Context

JPMorgan Chase’s credit card platform processes applications and account workflows at massive scale, in a heavily regulated environment with strict availability and audit requirements. Production downtime has direct customer and regulatory impact — the bar for reliability is non-negotiable.

• Supported quarterly and monthly release cycles for enterprise applications; participated in change-management reviews.

• Mentored junior engineers and contributed to onboarding and team development.
