About

Backend Engineer (SDE II) specializing in high-scale microservices, distributed systems, and performance engineering. Currently at Honeywell, building a high-throughput computation platform processing 300K+ calculations/min and mission-critical APIs at 50K req/sec in a multi-tenant cloud setup. I design and optimize backend systems for scalability, performance, and reliability. Experience across: • Java, Spring Boot, .NET Core • Microservices, Event-driven architecture, Async processing • Azure AKS, Data Lake, Kubernetes • Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Spark, Databricks • Caching, batching, compression, and distributed compute patterns Strengths: • Reducing latency, increasing throughput, and improving system resiliency • Converting ambiguous requirements into clean, scalable backend designs • Collaborating with product, platform, and infra teams to ship impactful features I’m passionate about backend engineering, performance tuning, and building systems that scale in the real world (not just theoretically). Always open to connecting about high-scale backend engineering, infrastructure, fintech, and distributed systems opportunities.
