About

Backend Engineer specializing in Java and Spring Boot, with 1+ year of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems and production-ready microservices. I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and designing APIs that scale reliably under real-world load. I have hands-on experience working with distributed systems, event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka, and secure authentication mechanisms (JWT, Spring Security). I’ve built and optimized RESTful services, handled complex data flows, and worked extensively with PostgreSQL and MySQL for efficient data modeling and querying. In my current work, I’ve solved backend challenges related to latency, fault tolerance, and system reliability, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions. I follow best practices around clean architecture, SOLID principles, and unit testing (JUnit, Mockito) to ensure long-term maintainability and confidence in deployments. I’m comfortable working across the full backend lifecycle — from requirement analysis and API design to cloud deployment on AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and production debugging. Strong fundamentals in Data Structures & Algorithms allow me to reason about trade-offs and optimize both code and system performance. I’m actively seeking high-impact backend roles (SDE-1 / Backend Engineer) where I can work on large-scale systems, take ownership of critical services, and grow alongside experienced engineers in a product-driven environment.

Girlscript summer of code

Contributor

May 2023 – Jul 2023 · 2 mos · Remote

I contributed to GirlScript Summer of Code (GSSoC) as an open-source contributor, primarily working on a React project, where I made significant improvements to the codebase and user experience. During the program, I successfully had 12 pull requests (PRs) merged, showcasing my contributions to key features and optimizations.
Key contributions:
1. Focused on API integration, ensuring seamless interaction between the frontend and backend services while following best coding practices.
2. Optimized the application by eliminating unnecessary API calls and reducing redundant re-renders, which significantly improved performance and enhanced the overall user experience.
3. Collaborated with the open-source community, reviewed code, and provided feedback to ensure high-quality contributions.

Delhi police

SDE intern

Nov 2022 – Feb 2023 · 3 mos · New Delhi, Delhi, India · On-site

I had the opportunity to work as a Backend Developer under the guidance of Devesh Mahla, IPS North Delhi, where I contributed to developing a criminal record management system for the Delhi Police (North District). I was responsible for creating RESTful APIs using Spring Boot to power a website that helped manage criminal records efficiently, serving an active user base of over 1,000 police personnel.
Key achievements:
1. Developed a secure, scalable system by implementing role-based authentication and authorization for various roles, including admin, SHO (Station House Officer), inspectors, and Police Departments (PDs).
2. Leveraged MongoDB for efficient storage and retrieval of unstructured criminal records, ensuring quick access to critical information.
3. Integrated Amazon S3 for seamless storage of criminal images, files, and documents.
Deployed the entire application on AWS with NGINX as the web server, ensuring high availability and performance.
4. Implemented and maintained logging mechanisms for monitoring application performance and security.
5. Played a key role in transitioning the traditional pen-and-paper system to a fully digital solution, significantly improving operational efficiency for the Delhi Police.
