Shikha Mittal

I’m a Software Engineer with 3.8+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance distributed systems across HR tech, fintech, and rental platforms. I focus on Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, with a strong bias toward clean architecture and reliable backend engineering.

At Peoplestrong, I’ve engineered backend services for a Recruitment & Onboarding platform supporting 500+ enterprise companies. I reduced API latency by 40%, improved production stability by 25%, and digitized end-to-end hiring workflows—cutting manual processing time by 60%—while increasing onboarding completion rates by 35%.

I also design for correctness under failure. I’ve built fault-tolerant, idempotent APIs using circuit-breaker patterns and robust error handling to ensure data consistency and safe retries across distributed microservices, while proactively resolving critical failures and timeout issues.

Previously at Dogma Systems, I developed and maintained core backend modules for MyRent (B2B) and Booking (B2C), optimizing 50+ SQL queries to reduce average API response times by 40% and improve scalability under peak loads. I’ve integrated Stripe Payment Gateway, implemented AWS S3 for encrypted document management, and worked across performance improvements, secure data handling, and production-grade delivery.
