About

I’m a Java backend engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building scalable, production-grade systems at Infosys. As a Digital Specialist Engineer I design and implement Spring Boot microservices, build real-time data pipelines with Apache Kafka, and integrate APIs using Apache Camel. I focus on performance, reliability, and developer productivity across the full backend lifecycle. Some highlights: -> Built and maintained RESTful services handling 10,000+ daily requests with 99.9%+ uptime. -> Led monolith → microservice modernizations that improved system performance by ~30%. -> Optimized MySQL and Criteria API queries, improving DB throughput and latency by ~35%. -> Championed engineering best practices: TDD, code reviews (20+ PRs/month), and CI/CD (Git, Jenkins), achieving ~90%+ test coverage and significantly reducing production defects. I enjoy solving complex problems, writing clean and maintainable code, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship high-impact features. I’m open to backend roles where I can design resilient systems, optimize performance at scale, and mentor teams.
