What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, high-performance backend systems—owning auth/APIs, microservices, and real-time processing—where I can ship reliability-focused features, automate testing/monitoring, and grow deep in distributed systems.

I’m a Software Development Engineer from India, with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Jammu. At TraQez, I architect and build production backends—owning everything from authentication flows and API security to system reliability and automated testing.

I’ve delivered multi-provider OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, secure JWT session management, and a full API key management system with hashing, expiration policies, and REST APIs. I also built a real-time alerting engine using Kafka and Flink, plus a multi-tenant migration engine for automated schema versioning in high-concurrency environments.

From my internship, I developed backend systems around PostgreSQL data pipelines, password expiry reminders with BullMQ, and secrets/version history APIs with query optimization. I care about secure engineering practices, measurable performance (I improved API response times by 80%), and clean CI-integrated quality checks.
