About

I am a Tech Lead and Senior Backend Engineer with 7.5+ years of experience designing and scaling backend platforms in product-driven environments. My expertise spans Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS, with a strong focus on microservices, distributed systems, and system design (LLD & HLD). At RebelFoods, I led a team of 8 engineers and managed 60% of the company’s core platform (CMS, OMS, UAM, Supply Chain, Launcher). My work reduced order processing time by 40%, improved menu uptime by 87%, and cut critical issue resolution by 45% through scalable automation and incident management frameworks. I am passionate about building high-performance systems, optimizing backend architectures, and mentoring teams to deliver solutions that directly impact business growth. My technical toolkit includes Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, AWS (Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, ECS, RDS), Kafka, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, CI/CD, and distributed caching. Currently, I am seeking opportunities at product-based companies where I can apply my expertise in scalable system design, backend architecture, and technical leadership to solve complex engineering challenges.
