About

Software engineer with 6 years of experience delivering scalable, resilient, and high-performance systems in fast-paced product environments across data platforms, fintech and recruiting. My core expertise lies in Java, Spring Boot, and designing distributed systems that can handle real-world scale with reliability and speed. At Goldman Sachs, I’ve worked on end-to-end system design, microservices architecture, and backend platforms powering high-throughput financial applications. From event-driven systems and rate limiters to low-latency APIs and fault-tolerant workflows — I enjoy building the unseen engines behind real-time user experiences. At Oracle, worked on developing Oracle Recruiting Cloud where I developed optimized solutions to migrate millions of attachments from on-prem to cloud, transitioned product architecture from SOAP to REST, and automated error detection and resolution pipelines within Oracle Cloud systems, reducing resolution time by 70%. Tech Highlights Strengths: Distributed systems, Backend architecture, System design, Microservices, JAVA Practices: Clean code, observability, CI/CD, performance tuning Familiar with: REST, asynchronous workflows, C++, Shell Scripting
