About

As a Software Engineering Leader, I excel in project and personnel management, combining a results-oriented and high-energy approach to inspire exceptional performance and achieve optimal outcomes. With a passion for innovation and a strategic mindset, I specialize in building teams dedicated to successfully executing complex and scalable projects with cost-effective strategies. With 14 years of rich work experience in highly scalable microservice-based event-driven architectural systems, spanning domains such as Fintech, E-Commerce, and Security, I thrive on brainstorming complex system designs, system architecture, data structures, algorithms, and logical problems. My technical skillset encompasses a wide range of technologies, including Java, Python, ReactJS, C++, Node, HTML, MySQL, AWS RDS, PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, H2, AWS DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, Redis, MongoDB, AWS SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SNS, AWS Kinesis, AWS Lambda, HAProxy, Kong gateway, Zookeeper, AWS Redshift, Hadoop, MapReduce, data analysis, Grafana, New Relic, Kibana, ELK, S3 and continuous learning. In addition to my technical expertise, I possess a strong set of soft skills. I lead from the front, excel in conflict management, provide effective mentoring, motivate teams, and maintain a positive attitude. Collaboration and teamwork are integral to my approach, and I prioritize empathy, critical thinking, a willingness to learn, and a data-driven mindset. Being technology-savvy allows me to stay at the forefront of industry trends and drive innovation. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I co-founded the design and art group "Spectra" at IIT Kharagpur and served as the Head of Spring Fest, the social and cultural fest of IIT Kharagpur. I also gained valuable international experience as an intern at DTU, Denmark. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to lead transformative projects, build high-performing teams, and drive innovation in the field of software engineering. Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate.
