What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my backend development skills while contributing to impactful projects.

As a Software Developer with over 2.5 years of experience at Flipkart, I have honed my skills in backend development, focusing on creating scalable solutions and optimizing database performance. My journey began at the prestigious Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, where I earned my BE in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. I have a proven track record of delivering impactful systems that enhance user engagement and operational efficiency.

At Flipkart, I have successfully developed and integrated new ad formats that boosted engagement rates by 10%. My role involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement data lifecycle management solutions, which significantly optimized database performance. I take pride in my ability to refactor legacy code, achieving an 80% reduction in search latency, and enhancing system reliability. My technical expertise spans a variety of tools and technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka, which I leverage to create efficient and effective backend systems.
