Lead Backend Engineer building AWS distributed microservices that drive measurable business impact.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience, known for building distributed backend systems that move business metrics—delivering a $1M fulfillment engine at Vistaprint, 8% annual revenue growth at WegoPro, and zero-data-loss migrations at Entrata.
My deep expertise is Node.js microservices and AWS event-driven architecture, backed by strong production observability. I’ve used Datadog APM, distributed tracing, and OpenSearch flame graph analysis to reduce MTTR by 60% and resolve critical incidents faster.
I also lead teams and architecture decisions end-to-end—owning system design, API contracts, deployment standards, and zero-downtime releases. From monolith-to-microservices decompositions to circuit-breaker fault tolerance and idempotent processing, I build resilient platforms while raising reliability and engineering performance.
