What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I'm Kunal Sharma, an experienced Backend Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on development in scalable microservices. My expertise lies in utilizing Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka to build performant backend systems. I thrive in agile environments, leading code reviews, resolving production issues, and contributing to the full software development lifecycle, including DevOps and automated testing.

Throughout my career, I have developed a scalable backend for a booking management system, improving fault tolerance and system reliability through microservices orchestration. My work in the airline industry has involved critical system integrations, where I successfully reduced database calls by 30% using Redis caching. I am passionate about mentoring team members and ensuring data security through robust API implementations.
