Gaurav Sharma

I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable backend APIs and modern web applications. I’m currently working at HCL Technologies, where I focus on backend engineering, product development, and system design.

At HCL Technologies, I owned backend development of multiple Spring Boot services supporting business-critical workflows in production. I designed and optimized RESTful APIs with validation, exception handling, and JWT-based authentication, reducing API latency by 30–40%.

I also improved PostgreSQL performance through schema optimization, indexing, and query tuning. To accelerate delivery, I automated backend workflows and built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker for reliable deployments.

Previously, as a Full-Stack Developer at Imaginate Solutions, I developed RESTful APIs using PHP and MySQL, designed relational database schemas for performance and integrity, and integrated backend services with frontend and third-party APIs. In my projects, I’ve built a Task Management Application (Next.js, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, JWT, Docker) and a Ride Booking Backend System (Spring Boot concurrency, state-machine lifecycle, geo-based matching, and indexing).
