About

I build backend systems that don't break under pressure. At HSBC, I designed and shipped GROOT — an infrastructure automation engine that eliminated manual access overhead for 500+ distributed servers, cutting operational overhead by 40% using Zero-Trust security, HashiCorp Vault JIT credentials, and a polyglot stack of Java (Spring Boot), Python (Django), and Node.js. I also engineered a Generative AI assistant that auto-generates custom execution scripts from natural language — accelerating script creation by 50% for internal developer teams. My technical foundation spans distributed systems, event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka, microservices, multithreading, and cloud deployments on AWS — built on top of 500+ DSA problems solved and a deep focus on system design. What I bring beyond the stack: — Production experience in Zero-Trust security and secrets management (HashiCorp Vault) — CI/CD orchestration across Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible — GenAI integration in real infrastructure workflows — not just prototypes Currently serving notice and actively exploring backend, distributed systems, and cloud-infra roles across product companies, BFSI, and cloud-native environments.
