What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering team where I can build scalable backend systems, work on microservices and APIs, and grow in system design and DevOps practices.

I am a Java backend developer with hands-on experience building scalable RESTful APIs and secure authentication systems using Spring Boot and OAuth 2.0. I have implemented microservices, integrated PostgreSQL databases, and optimized schemas to improve query response times.

At Acko, I contributed to a unified claims management platform that streamlined claim closure for millions of customers and dozens of partners, reducing manual processes by 80% and cutting turnaround time. I have also built e-commerce platform APIs, voice-assistant prototypes, and worked on performance and UX improvements.

I focus on clean, maintainable code, system design, and continuous learning—having completed data-structures and algorithms coursework, solved extensive competitive programming problems, and applied CI/CD and observability tools in production environments.
