What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a backend role where I can build reliable APIs and data-driven systems, work with clean architecture and strong engineering practices, and grow through hands-on ownership of design, testing, deployment, and performance problems.

I've built a ride-hailing backend with Spring Boot, MySQL, Kafka, WebSockets, Docker, and JWT, handling concurrent ride requests, live driver tracking, fare calculation, and driver assignment.

At Ardent Computech, I improved Node.js and Express API performance by caching repeated OpenAI requests and reusing database connections through connection pooling. I also isolated OpenAI integration behind a service layer with retry and timeout handling, and set up a Docker CI/CD pipeline for consistent deployments.

I approach backend problems by finding root causes first, selecting appropriate data structures or architectural patterns, and implementing validation, error handling, and testability throughout the lifecycle from schema design to deployment.

Identified repeated identical API calls to OpenAI as the main latency source and applied response caching and connection pooling. Abstracted the OpenAI API behind a service class with retry logic and timeout handling, and set up a Docker CI/CD pipeline to eliminate manual deployment steps.
