About

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi there, Iโ€™ve 2+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance ......(blah blah...I know guys, you don't give a damn without a FAANG tag!.....๐Ÿ˜‘) Better to look at My Work: ๐Ÿ“š Building an LMS for a Trading EdTech: A European trading EdTech needed a Learning Management System (LMS) to scale their courses, workshops, and training programs from offline batches. I joined as a backend engineer, working with Java (Spring Boot, Hibernate, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka) to develop key features end-to-end. But it wasnโ€™t just about writing code โ€” I also learned about 15-factor app methodology for cloud-native development, implemented Helm for easy deployments in Google Cloud, and explored the PLG/PLTG stack for observability. ๐Ÿ“‚ Scaling a SaaS for Media Distribution: What if you could host and distribute large media files for free โ€” while making money from ad revenue? That was the idea behind Seedr.cc, a high-performance, ad-supported file-sharing SaaS. I worked on the backend, building microservices using Node.js, Nest.js, AWS SQS, and gRPC. From building a notification service with AWS SES & SNS to integrating AWS Elasticache (Redis) for caching. ๐Ÿ›’ Rebuilding an E-Commerce Platform: An e-commerce business in the US was struggling with 1M+ monthly visitors on a Wix-based platform. Limited customization and scalability issues forced them to go custom โ€” and thatโ€™s where I stepped in. As a full-stack engineer, I worked across the stack, designing Admin Dashboards in React and building RESTful APIs in Node.js (Express.js). The challenge? Migrating a massive user base while ensuring zero downtime. ๐Ÿ†๐—˜๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ!... Have a look at Projects that I'm really proud of building: ๐Ÿ”นBetterReads:- Ever wondered if you could build an app that can track every book ever published in the world? Well, this is what goodreads.com does (aka Wikipedia of books). It handles massive book metadata of 80+ GB (Still skeptical? https://shorturl.at/6pm4F ๐Ÿ˜). I built a mini replica of this giant, with all core functionalities. ๐Ÿ”นBookify.io:โ€“ A real production-grade backend for a reservation booking system, built with 4 microservices, strict security policies, and AWS-powered CI/CD. (No, this isnโ€™t a typical โ€œE-Commerce / Todoโ€ app.) ๐Ÿ”นDistributed Job Engine:- building it (btw, it's not a typical job queue - itโ€™s a distributed) ๐Ÿ‘‡See more in the "๐™‹๐™ง๐™ค๐™Ÿ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™Ž๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ" โ€”> features, challenges & system diagrams! ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿš€ย Open to ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ always! ๐Ÿ“ฌ Feel free to reach out: prasenjitsutradhar3433@gmail.com
