About

Graduated with a BTech in Computer Science from the College of Engineering Pune, I currently contribute as a Software Development Engineer II at Jio Platforms Limited. My work focuses on transforming monolithic architectures into scalable microservices using Nodejs/Golang, leading to significant improvements in deployment cycles, scalability, and processing efficiency. With expertise in backend development, system design, and CI/CD pipelines, I develop modular, high-performance solutions leveraging Docker, Kubernetes, and clean architecture principles. My goal is to enable seamless integration, optimize system performance, and deliver resilient services aligned with business objectives.
