Specialist Backend Developer at Avira Operations GmbH, Tettnang, Germany

Feb 2021 — Aug 2023

During my tenure, the company underwent several acquisitions — starting as Avira, then becoming part of NortonLifeLock, and later Gen Digital. I continued in my role as a Specialist Backend Developer throughout these transitions, contributing to core backend services, microservice architecture, and data-driven reputation systems across all company phases.

I developed and maintained microservices powering threat intelligence reputation scoring for entities like URLs, IPs, and files. By integrating OpenSearch and Kibana monitoring, I reduced downtime by 30% and improved system reliability. My work spanned scalable code development, CI/CD deployments with Docker, and AWS-based service management across multiple environments.
