About

I design and operate distributed backend systems that handle high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads in production. My focus is on building cloud-native platforms that scale reliably under load while maintaining strong performance and operational stability. With 8.5+ years of experience, I have worked extensively with .NET, AWS, and Azure to build event-driven microservices, asynchronous processing pipelines, and high-availability backend systems. I’m experienced in API design, service communication patterns, and developing systems that are resilient, observable, and production-ready. I have scaled latency-critical systems, improved throughput by ~40%, and built backend platforms supporting complex enterprise workflows across FinTech, Insurance, SaaS, and Manufacturing domains. My work typically involves optimizing performance, ensuring fault tolerance, and designing systems that can operate reliably at scale. I’m currently exploring Senior / Staff Backend or Platform Engineering roles across Europe and am open to relocation where supported by the employer. 🔗 Selected projects: https://vermajai1995.vercel.app/#projects Work Authorization: Eligible for EU Blue Card sponsorship.
