Senior Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems and real-time data pipelines. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, and event-driven microservices using Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ. My core strength lies in crafting reliable, high-performance architectures that reduce latency, optimize workflows, and improve system uptime. At Optum, I developed a Kafka validation utility adopted across multiple teams, reducing test setup time by 55% and manual effort by 35%. I also led the development of Kafka-based streaming microservices, reducing message latency by 65% and achieving 2–5 second end-to-end delivery for over 4 million records. Currently at Naukri, I’m building backend modules that handle 1,000+ recruiter leads and 1,500+ document verifications daily. I integrated identity verification workflows (AuthBridge), cut redundant API calls by 30–40%, and implemented caching that saves ₹4–5 lakhs annually. I’m passionate about backend architecture, system design (LLD/HLD), and engineering solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and production-grade.
