Backend software engineer improving high-throughput microservices with Go, Python, and Kafka, plus reliable AI agent workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 1+ year of production experience designing and deploying high-throughput microservices, RESTful APIs, and event-driven systems. I focus on reliability, clean architecture, and measurable performance improvements in fast-paced startup environments.
At Deepta.ai, I architected and maintained RESTful APIs in Go, supporting thousands of daily production requests with 99.9%+ uptime. I redesigned error handling and recovery protocols, improving system reliability by 15% and reducing average incident resolution time by ~30%. I also optimized PostgreSQL schemas and raw SQL queries to cut database load and built AI agents with Python, LangChain, and LLMs to automate internal workflows.
In my Software Engineer Intern role at Apxor, I built Go microservices using clean architecture principles to improve modularity and enable independent deployment of multiple backend components. I delivered sub-second analytics workflows with ClickHouse and MongoDB, containerized services with Docker, and deployed to Kubernetes for consistent runtime environments and autoscaling.
Across my work and projects, I build distributed systems that are observable, secure, and dependable—using Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and databases like PostgreSQL/MongoDB/Redis. I enjoy shipping end-to-end features, collaborating with frontend and product teams, and integrating practical AI/LLM functionality where it reduces manual effort and improves operational efficiency.
