About Me

I’m a Software Engineer with a Master’s in Computer Science and over 4 years of experience specializing in building and scaling high-availability, fault-tolerant distributed systems. I leverage a strong academic foundation and hands-on industry experience to design and deliver reliable backend solutions in Java, microservices, and event-driven architectures.

Core Expertise
  • Scalable Systems: Scaled Java and Kafka microservices to handle 10M+ events daily, reducing latency by 25%.
  • High Performance APIs: Engineered REST APIs serving 5K+ RPS using Spring Boot and Redis, cutting database load by 50%.
  • Reliability and DevOps: Achieved 99.99% uptime through multi region deployment and built organization wide testing frameworks from the ground up.
  • End to End Ownership: Led features from concept to deployment, driving a 25% increase in daily active users.

I’m passionate about system design, distributed systems, and building robust platforms with modern cloud technologies. I enjoy mentoring engineers, optimizing performance, and driving impact through thoughtful engineering.

Technologies: Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Redis, AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD

Open to new opportunities and relocation.
