What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can improve system reliability, performance, and cost efficiency while working with collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a senior software engineer with experience building scalable backend systems, optimizing performance, and reducing operational costs. I have a strong foundation in Computer Science from NIT Jamshedpur and practical experience across games and consumer backend platforms.

At Gameskraft I led initiatives to improve location tracking, migrate session stores to AWS MemoryDB, and redesign logging event flows to improve stability and observability. I also executed infrastructure migrations to Kubernetes and optimized staging and deployment pipelines.

I delivered measurable impact by reducing stored Redis keys by 90%, cutting daily data transfer from 1TB to 0.2TB through polling optimizations, and implementing regulatory-compliant financial workflows. Earlier internships at Gameskraft and Samsung R&D sharpened my skills in API performance, user flows, and camera AI stability.

I solve complex problems with pragmatic engineering, focusing on reliability, cost efficiency, and user experience, and I enjoy competitive programming as evidence of strong algorithmic skills.
