About

I am a Staff Engineer with over 10+ years of experience in designing, building, and optimising scalable, resilient software systems and enterprise SaaS platforms. My expertise spans backend development, microservices architecture, and cloud-native solutions. I have successfully delivered high-performance applications at companies like UKG, Cisco, BroadSoft and Zuora, driving innovation, system efficiency, and business value. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, NestJS, RESTful API development, and microservices design. I have a strong focus on building secure, reliable, and high-availability systems using Docker, Jenkins, Postgres, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and related technologies. I am passionate about integrating AI and large language models (LLMs) into backend architectures, exploring tools like LangGraph, LangChain, RAG, and Gemini to create intelligent solutions. In addition to system design and development, I have strong experience in resilience engineering and chaos testing using Gremlin, ensuring systems can withstand failures and recover gracefully. I actively conduct performance and load testing using tools like k6, Gatling, JMeter, and Lighthouse to optimize system throughput, latency, and scalability. I am dedicated to clean coding, performance optimization, and technical leadership. I thrive in collaborative environments where continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and mentoring are valued. I am always eager to explore new technologies and contribute to projects that solve complex business challenges.
