Omkar Terdal

I'm a backend software engineer based in Bangalore with 1.5 years of production experience building distributed systems and data infrastructure at DealShare, one of India's fast-growing e-commerce platforms.

My core work involves search and discovery infrastructure — I own a platform that processes over 1 million product and user interaction events daily using Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis on AWS, serving 164K+ daily queries at sub-80ms p99 latency. I've designed circuit-breaker patterns, led zero-downtime migrations of 95% production traffic, and reduced API response times by 60% through architecture redesign.

Beyond my primary stack (Java, Spring Boot), I've built production tooling in Python — an AI-powered code reviewer using the Claude API that reduced our team's PR review costs by over 50% and was adopted org-wide. I use AI coding tools daily and bring that into how I build and debug.

I'm drawn to infrastructure and platform engineering problems — systems where reliability, performance, and scale actually matter. The streaming and messaging space is a natural extension of the Kafka-heavy work I've been doing, and I'm actively growing my knowledge in distributed storage systems.

I'm looking for backend engineering roles in Bangalore with strong distributed systems depth, ideally at companies building infrastructure that other engineers depend on.
