At PwC India, I cut rewards API latency from 300ms to 70ms with Redis caching and shipped a Kafka-based email verification workflow serving 200K+ users. I also built AES-256 encryption and password-protected ZIP workflows for secure data handling.

Previously at Chegg India, I built a Java/Spring Boot PDF-generation microservice that reduced document processing time by 35%. I enjoy designing reliable distributed systems, demonstrated through personal projects using microservices, Kafka, Saga orchestration, Transactional Outbox, PostgreSQL, Neo4j, Docker, and observability tooling.
