What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend and full-stack products where I can apply Java, TypeScript, cloud infrastructure, and strong engineering practices to solve meaningful performance and reliability challenges.

I've built full-stack and backend platforms at Clynk and Tata Elxsi, from a greenfield technician-validation application used by 60+ technicians to EdTech SaaS modules supporting 1M+ active users. I reduced a critical Clynk latency bottleneck from 120ms to 2ms and helped deliver zero-downtime releases on AWS.

I also build distributed systems and AI-enabled products using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and Kubernetes. Alongside hands-on engineering, I've mentored 10 engineers, completed 50+ code reviews, and enjoy improving maintainability, testing, and delivery pipelines.
