What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior backend role where I can own complex, high-impact systems end to end—building distributed, event-driven fintech services with strong reliability, clear API contracts, and measurable product outcomes.

I’m a Backend Engineer with 4+ years building high-scale fintech systems across Payments, Lending, and Insurance—at PhonePe I’ve supported infrastructure serving 300M+ users. I design and ship backend platforms that balance performance, reliability, and measurable product impact.

At Money View, I built a distributed, serverless MIS ingestion pipeline using AWS SES, Lambda, and S3, ensuring 100% data consistency and moving reporting from hours to near real-time with Kinesis Firehose. I also orchestrated TB-scale log migration to cut infrastructure costs by 90% and enabled high-performance querying via Athena.

My engineering focus is end to end system ownership: I engineered a thread-safe Java ingestion library with compression and S3 Glacier archival, and I developed backend logic for A/B experiments that drove a 15% lift in credit card conversion. At PhonePe, I designed and launched “Janus,” an in-house distributed workflow engine, improving policy processing time by 20% while maintaining strict state consistency.

I’m strong in Java, Distributed Systems, and Event-Driven Architecture on AWS, and I care about clean design—microservices, API contract design, and maintainability. I also mentor junior engineers on SOLID and design patterns, helping reduce code review cycles by 20% and improve overall team velocity.

Software Engineer

Money View

Sep 2024 - Present (1 year 8 months)

Architected a serverless MIS ingestion pipeline using AWS (SES, Lambda, S3, Kinesis Firehose), reducing processing latency from hours to near real-time while ensuring 100% data consistency. Led cost-optimization by migrating TB-scale logs from RDS to S3 to cut monthly costs by 90% ($2.5K → $200) and built backend logic for A/B experiments that increased credit card application conversion by 15%.

Designed and launched 'Janus', a distributed workflow engine using Aerospike for state management, reducing average policy processing time by 20% via deterministic finite state machine logic. Owned SLA and resilience for microservices (Dropwizard, Hystrix) with p99 < 800ms and improved incident MTTR from 45 minutes to 12 minutes; implemented Docker-based CI/CD with GitLab CI for insurer reverse-fe

Decomposed a legacy core banking monolith into 6 independently deployable microservices, defining LLD and API contracts adopted by 3 downstream teams and reducing release cycles from 2 weeks to 3 days. Built 30+ REST/SOAP onboarding APIs and engineered 50+ Java scheduled CBS synchronization jobs with idempotency and dead-letter handling, reducing reconciliation failures from ~200/day to near zero
