Yash Chiddarwar
@yashchiddarwar
Backend-focused Java developer specializing in scalable microservices and performance-driven API systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend-focused Java developer with hands-on experience designing and delivering microservices-based systems for high-value financial transactions. I build resilient RESTful APIs with Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate and improve system performance through query optimization, caching, and observability.
At L&T Financial Services I contributed to systems processing Rs.50+ Cr monthly, led a migration from monolith to microservices, and implemented CI/CD security checks that significantly raised application security scores. I emphasize measurable impact: reduced API latency by 40%, sped deployment cycles by 60%, and cut debugging time by 30%.
I also architect hobby projects that mirror production concerns — containerized multi-service ecosystems with Kafka events, Redis caching, and secured JWT-based auth, and a performance-optimized React portfolio site. I seek roles where I can continue to scale services, harden security, and mentor teams toward reliable, observable systems.
