What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend engineering role where I can build secure, scalable OAuth and event-driven systems, own production monitoring/on-call, and collaborate on CI/CD and AWS operations with Kafka and Spring Boot.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer focused on backend engineering, building secure, scalable systems that perform under high throughput. At Paytm Payments Bank, I engineered a bank OAuth platform in Spring Boot with custom OAuth 2.0 flows, production-grade REST APIs, and Cloud & DevOps monitoring hooks for real-time system health tracking. I also drove state-machine driven workflow orchestration for OAuth transitions—covering retries, failure handling, and operational visibility.

Earlier, at Paytm Money and Paytm Insurance, I delivered backend features like mutual funds/SIP REST APIs, Pub-Sub event modeling with Spring Boot, and recent search for insurance services using Kotlin and Apache Kafka. I care about reliability and observability—owning Kibana-based log monitoring and on-call debugging across application, infrastructure, and data-flow layers—while using AWS encryption (AWS KMS) and BPMN/workflow tools (Camunda, Drools) to turn complex business logic into dependable services.
