About

Backend Engineer focused on building systems that stay fast, reliable, and easy to maintain at scale. I work across Golang, distributed services, Kafka, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP, and I’ve recently started contributing to production projects in Ruby on Rails. My interests revolve around performance, clean service design, and cloud-native development. My grounding in computer science and years of competitive programming—Codeforces (Expert) and CodeChef (5★)—shaped the way I break down problems and write efficient code. That problem-solving mindset helps me build services that hold up well in real-world conditions. These days, I’m focused on designing scalable architectures, improving system performance, and strengthening reliability in distributed environments.

Zoomcar

Software Engineer

Jan 2025 – Present · 1 yr 2 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

🚗 At Zoomcar, I am building and scaling backend systems for the connected car platform. I work on Go-based microservices, real-time data pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure that connect and process data from in-car IoT devices.
Key highlights:
Developing scalable backend services in Golang for telemetry & real-time processing.
Working with Kafka for high-volume IoT event streaming.
Optimizing TimescaleDB for time-series location data.
Migrating infra from VMs to Kubernetes, with Docker, Helm, and Jenkins pipelines for CI/CD.
Integrating OpenTelemetry across services for observability and replacing legacy APM tools.
Contributing to go-toolkit, a centralized Go library used by all microservices for logging, database, Redis, and HTTP clients with built-in tracing.
Implementing async job processing with Asynq + Redis.
Enhancing config management with env-based setups.
Troubleshooting complex production issues (DB constraints, IoT sync failures).
