What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cloud-native backend role with ownership and reliable, event-driven systems—where I can build fault-tolerant services, improve latency/SLOs, and strengthen CI/CD and observability in an Agile team.

I’m an M.Tech (Information Security) graduate and Software Engineer with 2+ years of production experience building high-performance, scalable backend systems for mobile and web platforms. I bring a practical, reliability-first mindset—designing systems that hold up under real load and meet SLO targets.

At Human Powered Health Technologies, I architected and maintained Python (Flask/FastAPI) backend systems powering mobile and web platforms for 12,000+ users at 99.99% uptime. I led zero-downtime database migrations and live backfills, designed event-driven microservices on GCP Pub/Sub to cut latency by 20%, and enforced idempotent transactional workflows to reduce error rates by 25% under concurrent load.

Previously at Cognizant as a Programmer Analyst, I built and optimized backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and AngularJS, and tuned Apache Solr query filters, indexing, and caching to improve search response time by 20–30%. I also enjoy hands-on system work—whether it’s Kubernetes/Docker, CI/CD, Linux-level programming in C/C++, or contributing to open source like SchedPlus.
