What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud-native backend architecture for enterprise platforms—owning HLD/LLD, driving modernization, and improving reliability and observability, while collaborating across product, QA, and operations to deliver secure, scalable APIs.

I’m a Software Architect and Technical Leader with 14+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale backend platforms across Financial Services and Enterprise domains. I focus on defining HLD/LLD, modernizing architectures, and building highly available systems with availability targets of 99.9%+.

At IBM India Pvt Ltd, I lead microservices-based enterprise platform architecture—driving REST API design with Java and Spring Boot, DevOps adoption, CI/CD automation, and reliability/observability improvements. Previously at Tata Consultancy Services, I delivered 20+ enterprise applications and improved performance by ~25% through architecture and performance optimization, while leading Agile teams and mentoring engineers.
