My core stack includes Java, Python, Kubernetes, Dropwizard, Aerospike, Cassandra, MySQL, and modern microservice architectures.Previously, I worked at Goldman Sachs as an Analyst and later as an Associate, contributing to mission-critical trade booking systems. I led multiple performance and UX improvements, achieving an 80% reduction in trade booking time and a 40% improvement in API response times on platforms processing 300K+ trades per day. My experience spans Java, Python, C++, React, Redux, Kafka, ElasticSearch, GraphDB, and distributed systems, with a strong focus on building reliable, scalable solutions.I graduated with a B.Tech in Information Technology from Cummins College, Pune University (2021) with a CGPA of 9.23/10 and ranked 3rd in my department.
