I build high-throughput backend systems, from event-driven services to fault-tolerant cloud storage platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built production backend systems at Egnyte and Byju's, spanning cloud storage, SaaS, and EdTech products that process high volumes of user activity and data.
At Egnyte, I redesigned transaction management, journaling, and logging components in C, improved maintainability by 30–40%, and built multi-drive support tested across 20+ storage volumes. I also reduced desktop-app listing and info-call latency from roughly 150ms to 20ms through file locking and caching.
At Byju's, I moved student progress-report generation from AWS Batch to a Kafka-based Golang service, producing 20K–90K reports daily. I also developed event-driven calendar capabilities handling 100K–1M events per day and REST APIs serving 40K–50K daily users.
I work across Golang, Python, C/C++, Ruby, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, AWS, and microservices. I focus on scalable, fault-tolerant systems, including real-time APIs, recovery mechanisms, secure token handling, and low-latency services.
