About

I'm a backend engineer passionate about designing scalable systems and solving complex technical problems. With experience at fast-paced companies like Zomato and Blinkit, I've built and maintained distributed microservices that power real-time operations, improve platform reliability, and support millions of users. I work primarily with Golang, Kafka, gRPC, AWS, and DynamoDB, and have a strong foundation in system design, backend architecture, and cloud-native development. My work spans areas like checkout workflows, real-time inventory systems, async task orchestration, and infrastructure observability. I thrive in cross-functional teams, enjoy working on high-impact systems, and continuously strive to improve performance, reliability, and user experience through clean and efficient code. Always open to connecting with fellow engineers and teams building at scale.
