What I'm looking for

I'm seeking SDE-2 backend or platform engineering roles where I can build scalable distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and reliable AI-integrated backend platforms.

I've built backend platforms at Care Klick, Bharat Claims, and PwC India, delivering Java and Spring Boot microservices for healthcare, insurance, and shared internal utilities. At Care Klick, I built SQS-driven AI medical-report pipelines that reduced p95 latency from about four seconds to under 900ms while supporting 10,000+ monthly active users.

At Bharat Claims, I delivered 10+ production APIs and automated around 70% of document verification through event-driven SQS workflows and multithreaded Java workers, reducing claim turnaround from 48 hours to 18 hours. I focus on reliable, observable distributed systems using AWS, Kafka/SQS, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and practical performance improvements.
