What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in backend development and allows for growth in system architecture and leadership.

I am a dedicated Backend Engineer with over six years of experience in developing robust software solutions. Currently, I work at Wayfair as a Software Engineer 2, where I have successfully implemented features that enhance shipment traceability and financial accuracy in the supply chain domain. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to define strategies for processing external events and improving operational workflows.

Previously, I served as a Senior Software Engineer at Paytm, where I developed a real-time ad selection algorithm that achieved impressive latency metrics while handling high request rates. My contributions also included building internal management portals and integrating third-party systems to enhance customer engagement. My technical expertise spans a wide array of technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka, which I leverage to create efficient, scalable applications.
