About

I've spent 6 years building systems that handle millions of records — from real-time financial platforms at Goldman Sachs to event-driven microservices at Talkdesk. What I do best: take a complex, messy system and turn it into something that scales. At Talkdesk, I migrated a Java monolith to event-driven microservices on AWS — cutting infra costs by 40% and compressing a 5-sprint migration into 1 sprint using AI-augmented workflows. At Wayfair, I owned a 0→1 product end-to-end, from writing the PRD to shipping a React/Spring Boot platform that cut manual work by 90%. My stack: Java 17/21 · Spring Boot · React/Next.js · AWS (ECS, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, Lambda) · Kafka · Kubernetes · ElasticSearch · Redis Currently: Exploring senior remote roles in distributed systems and full-stack engineering. Based in Jaipur, India. MNIT alum. I write about system design, interview prep, and the real journey of hunting for a dream remote job. Let's connect.

System Modernization - Monolith → Event-Driven Microservices on AWS
Architected migration of a Java 17 monolith to event-driven microservices on AWS (ECS, API Gateway, SQS/SNS), eliminating single points of failure and reducing infrastructure costs by an estimated 40% through per-service compute right-sizing.
Designed a dual-store data architecture replacing MongoDB with ElasticSearch for sub-50ms full-text search and DynamoDB for single-digit-millisecond key-value lookups, selecting each store based on deliberate access pattern analysis.
Leveraged Java 21 virtual threads (Project Loom) and CI/CD pipelines with blue/green deployment strategy on AWS CodePipeline, enabling high-concurrency I/O handling and zero-downtime releases with instant rollback capability.
Pioneered an AI-augmented engineering workflow using Claude AI to generate migration roadmaps, identify edge cases, and scaffold production-grade service code — compressing a projected 5-sprint migration into 1 sprint, an 80% reduction in development effort.

Options Grouping - New Import Type & Client Dashboard
Owned the full product lifecycle of a 0→1 Options Grouping feature for enterprise retail clients — authored the PRD, finalized API contracts with downstream teams, and functioned as a hybrid engineer-PM to deliver on time and in scope.
Built a React.js/Next.js dashboard with real-time sync and a Java/Spring Boot backend, supporting both UI-driven configuration and bulk Excel import with row-level validation — cutting manual client configuration effort by 90%.
Designed a dual-mode ingestion system capable of handling thousands of product options at scale, with robust error-handling for malformed imports and consistency guarantees between UI and import-driven configurations.
Leveraged Cursor AI for context-aware code generation and review across a large unfamiliar codebase, compressing ramp-up time by weeks while maintaining high code quality throughout delivery.
