What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable backend and microservice platforms, leveraging computer vision and IoT integrations, with strong engineering culture and opportunities for impact.

I’m Kapil Raj, a passionate Software Engineer II with over 5 years of experience designing and developing scalable, high-performance backend systems. My core expertise lies in Python (Django/DRF) and Java (Spring Boot), with a strong grasp of microservices architecture, API design, and system optimization.

At Chalo Mobility, I engineered the migration of a large-scale audit service from a monolith to a microservice, improving deployment flexibility and maintainability. I also built secure RESTful APIs and optimized production workflows, reducing system errors by 20% and downtime by 15%.

Previously, at VOGO, I developed computer-vision models to track passenger counts with 95% accuracy and designed an IoT-based firmware update system that reduced update time by 50%. My work at Kafqa Academy and Mouser Electronics focused on automation, payment integrations, and backend optimization, cutting errors and improving user engagement significantly.

Beyond work, I enjoy going on bike rides, trekking and cafe hoping.
