Bhavika Arage

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 2 years of experience building scalable, production-grade applications using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and AWS. I focus on delivering end-to-end features in agile environments, with a strong emphasis on reliability and maintainability.

At ThoughtWorks (June 2024–Present), I served as a Feature Anchor for an asynchronous data integration pipeline, designing data normalization layers that transform disparate inbound types into standardized internal schemas. I implemented application observability across 5 microservices with Datadog metrics, monitors, and dashboards, reducing incident response time by 30% and identifying a critical production issue within 30 minutes during an active incident.

I design and develop production-scale RESTful APIs using Spring Boot to improve backend performance and system interoperability. I also build event-driven data pipelines with Apache Kafka, and use Redis to store, aggregate, and normalize high-throughput streaming data with idempotent data formatting before downstream delivery.

I optimize database configurations and execute data migration tasks to ensure zero-downtime transitions aligned with evolving product requirements. I analyze end-to-end backend performance using Datadog dashboards and traces, and I developed test event payloads for Kafka streams to isolate and resolve downstream latency bottlenecks; earlier, I built console-based Java applications as a Software Engineering Intern at Zoho.
