About

Backend Engineer focused on building scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems using Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, distributed storage solutions, and cloud-native microservice architectures. I design and optimize services with an emphasis on performance, reliability, strong service boundaries, and operational excellence.With a strong foundation in algorithms , system design, and observability, I enjoy solving complex backend challenges, improving platform robustness, and contributing to clean architecture and high-quality engineering practices.I have also worked extensively in the lending and financial services domain, designing and implementing systems such as bureau/eligibility engines, risk workflows, UPI mandate services, compliance microservices, and large-scale, event-driven lending pipelines — powering products used by millions of users.

  • Implemented UPI Mandate workflows, enabling seamless post-disbursal loan recovery through UPI AutoPay. Re-architected the legacy NACH journey by carving it out of the monolith into a dedicated microservice, reducing friction compared to e-NACH/physical flows and improving mandate success rates by 15–20%.
  • Onboarded major merchant lending partners (Google Pay, PhonePe) by building end-to-end bureau, policy, and eligibility layers for their lending journeys. These partner programs have contributed 1000+ Cr in disbursals to date across the PayU lending ecosystem.
  • Decoupled core lending-risk components — bureau, rules engine, offer generation, and mandate flows — from a tightly coupled monolith into independently deployable microservices. Delivered stronger fault isolation, decentralized CI/CD, cleaner bounded contexts, and achieved ~30% reduction in eligibility API latency through improved horizontal scaling.
  • Implemented Aadhaar–PAN linkage verification as a dedicated compliance microservice under accelerated RBI timelines. Standardized the KYC-linkage contract and productized it into a shared platform service adopted by multiple PayU teams for regulatory compliance flows.
  • Built a Kafka-based retry orchestration framework integrated with Azkaban scheduling and circuit breakers, enabling robust, asynchronous retries across all lending workflows and reducing operational overhead from transient failures.
  • Implemented eligibility flows (bureau, rules & offer) for the Non-Sole-Prop (NSP) Lending Program, enabling compliant and low-risk NSP loan disbursals. Designed scalable and modular risk-evaluation pipelines aligned with merchant-specific business policies.
  • Developed AI-powered internal utility PoCs using Cursor AI, automating recurring engineering tasks including code scaffolding, diff analysis, refactoring, documentation generation, and unit test case generation.

  • Implemented Experian Soft Bureau Pull, enabling fast, low-friction credit checks for 1M+ users and improving decision accuracy.
  • Developed and maintained high-traffic RESTful APIs using Java & Spring Boot, serving 20M+ users with strong reliability and test coverage.
  • Built real-time streaming pipelines using Kafka, processing 1M+ messages/day for event-driven lending and behavioral workflows.
  • Managed large-scale data stores across MySQL, Cassandra, and Elasticsearch, optimizing performance over 500M+ mission-critical records.
  • Implemented robust logging, monitoring, and alerting using Kibana, Grafana, and New Relic, improving observability and reducing MTTR.
  • Created internal dashboards and tooling to give Product & Business teams unified access to funnel data and metrics
  • Led CI/CD automation via Jenkins, enabling smooth, reliable deployments across environments.
  • Used Postman, Git, and Linux extensively for API validation, version control, and distributed system debugging.
