Senior Backend Engineer

May 2023 – Present · 3 yrs 1 mo · Bengaluru

Engineered and optimized high-scale REST APIs using Spring Boot and JPA, supporting 5,000+ daily interactions and achieving a 44% reduction in latency for systems handling 10K+ concurrent users.
Led the migration and refactoring of critical legacy modules, modularizing monolithic codebases into efficient microservices; this reduced technical debt by approximately 30% and improved system maintainability while ensuring zero-downtime deployments.
Architected and integrated event-driven components using Apache Kafka, significantly improving asynchronous throughput and system decoupling.
Mentored junior engineers through technical knowledge-sharing sessions and comprehensive code reviews, establishing best practices that led to a 20% improvement in team code quality metrics (via SonarQube).
Enhanced system reliability by implementing robust authentication, authorization, and advanced exception-handling frameworks, alongside containerizing services with Docker to streamline the CI/CD pipeline.
Leveraged AI-driven analysis to identify performance bottlenecks in Spring Boot microservices, using Cursor AI for proactive bug detection and intelligent code optimization, which maintained system stability while increasing throughput by 34% during high-load scenarios.
