What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on scalable payment or RTB systems, with opportunities for impact, mentorship, and strong engineering practices.

I am a backend developer with 3.8 years of experience building payment gateways, credit card systems, and AdTech RTB platforms. I specialize in Java, Spring, microservices, SQL, Hibernate and designing scalable, high-performance transaction workflows.

Across roles I have improved deployment efficiency, led MongoDB migrations, built real-time monitoring dashboards, and optimized payment processing to increase user satisfaction and reduce errors. I deliver clear high-level designs, diagnose production issues, and implement CI/CD and performance improvements.

I bring a strong foundation in DSA and distributed systems, practical experience with tooling like Git and Jenkins, and a focus on regulatory compliance and cost-effective, secure system design.
