Final fixes were validated through log review, unit tests, regression testing, and peer review, reducing average root-cause analysis time by an estimated 30-40% for recurring service-layer and SQL defects. Used AI to accelerate JUnit/Mockito test development by converting acceptance criteria, legacy code branches, and defect scenarios into candidate unit-test cases. Improved service-layer coverage on targeted modules from approximately 62% to 82% while reducing manual test-writing time. Created AI-supported SQL review prompts to identify risky joins, missing indexes, null-handling gaps, pagination issues, and report-performance risks before peer review, helping reduce slow-query incidents and improve report generation speed. Applied AI to legacy code comprehension by summarizing large Java classes, Spring AOP interceptors, transaction boundaries, security annotations, and SQL dependencies into engineer-readable onboarding notes. Used AI to improve documentation quality by drafting API behavior notes, defect RCA summaries, deployment validation checklists, and support runbooks, then reviewing and correcting all outputs before publication. Promoted responsible AI usage by avoiding customer data, secrets, credentials, regulated records, and proprietary payloads in external tools; used sanitized examples, synthetic data, and approved internal practices.
