Swapnil Agarwal

I’m a Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable Java and Spring Boot services across digital identity, travel technology, and financial services. I currently work at VIDA Digital Identity, where I build backend systems for KYC, document verification, fraud detection, secure document storage, and client-configurable verification workflows.

My work includes reviving an ID-verification platform from over 90%% downtime to 20+ live customers, reducing average verification latency from roughly 8 seconds to under 2 seconds, and reducing document-storage footprint and costs by about 60%% through centralized AWS S3 storage. I have also built secure BYOK document encryption with AWS KMS, S3 presigned URL delivery, Kafka-based KYC visibility, vendor integrations, NFC passport verification, and asynchronous verification workflows.

Previously at tiket.com, I improved Agoda-sync service performance by 300%%, raised InfluxDB uptime from 60%% to 99%%, reduced MongoDB load by 20%%, and supported a Viator integration onboarding 30,000+ products. I began my career at J.P. Morgan, supporting data migration and Python-based reporting automation.

I enjoy solving backend and platform problems involving distributed workflows, system reliability, event-driven systems, API design, cloud storage, observability, and security. My core stack includes Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, AWS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Python, and Golang. I’m looking for remote-friendly Senior Backend Engineer roles where I can own high-impact services, work on challenging product or platform problems, and grow with an ambitious engineering team.
