What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a software role where I can ship real-time or event-driven features, build reliable microservices with queues and retries, and work end-to-end from API to dashboards.

I built DevSpace, a real-time interview platform with a collaborative code editor, Monaco Editor, and live execution via the Judge0 API—all synced in sub-second keystrokes using Socket.io.

To make the platform reliable and safe, I implemented role-based access using JWTs (with HTTP-only cookies) plus strict socket-level filtering to keep candidate sessions isolated from interviewer test cases and notes.

I also engineered NotifyFlow, an event-driven notification microservice that decouples OTPs and session summaries from the backend, returning 202 Accepted in under 15ms while an isolated worker handles delivery.

Across both projects, I added practical production patterns like caching to avoid duplicate work, retry with exponential backoff and DLQ for fault tolerance, and Redis-backed rate limiting and idempotency to prevent duplicate dispatches.
