What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience specializing in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale distributed systems. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of building resilient, high-performance platforms using Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native architectures on AWS and GCP. Notably, I successfully scaled platforms like ZEE5 OTT to support over 10 million concurrent users and led critical backend modules for Birla Pivot, a comprehensive e-commerce ecosystem.
My deep expertise in system design, microservices, and event-driven architectures has enabled me to optimize performance and reduce latency effectively. I have hands-on experience with various technologies, including Kafka, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, and I am adept at applying design patterns and mentoring engineers. As a strong collaborator and technical leader, I have integrated frontend technologies like React.js into my projects and have a solid foundation in full-cycle product development and DevOps practices.
