What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, high-throughput distributed systems where I can lead backend architecture, improve reliability and release practices, mentor engineers, and collaborate across product, DevOps, QA, and security teams.

I'm building scalable digital commerce platforms for global pharmaceutical markets at Eli Lilly and Company, using Kotlin, Spring Boot, distributed microservices, Temporal, and Adobe Experience Manager. I also design secure internet-facing infrastructure with Cloudflare and lead production releases across international markets.

Previously at 7-Eleven, I developed cloud-native backend services for high-volume retail operations and real-time store systems. I built event-driven services with AWS Kinesis, EventBridge, Lambda, Node.js, and REST APIs, improving API latency and throughput by approximately 30%.

At Springworks, I developed Node.js, Express.js, and MySQL services for a SaaS background verification platform, integrating Razorpay, Zoho, and Exotel. I also led an Agile engineering pod through planning, technical discussions, and feature delivery.

My earlier work at Tata Consultancy Services supported Bank of America through RESTful enterprise services, SQL optimization, automated testing, and address-validation improvements. Across roles, I mentor engineers, improve release processes, and build reliable distributed systems.
