What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-grade backend and distributed systems, owning reliability end-to-end with strong observability, microservices, and cloud-first engineering.

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 2+ years’ experience, specializing in Java/C++ services, event-driven microservices, and reliability patterns. At Xoriant, I designed and implemented rule-driven, session-scoped processing with full audit trails, improving settlement timelines and reducing exceptions through SWIFT 2025-compliant message processing.

I also modernized performance-critical C++11 modules to C++23, refactored legacy components into AWS-hosted Java microservices, and sunsetted a ~2,000-line legacy module to eliminate edge-case failures. I’ve provided L3 production ownership for mission-critical systems—diagnosing live incidents, preserving continuity during outages, and building the technical solution for a new PVP session channel end-to-end.
