About

About Me I am a Backend Engineer with expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and distributed systems, backed by 4+ years of experience across data-driven and software product companies. My journey through roles at Precisely and LTIMindtree has uniquely equipped me with the ability to design scalable systems, automate operations, and modernize backend infrastructure. I bring a strong foundation in: - Java, Spring Boot, SQL, NoSQL, Kafka, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes - Observability tools (DataDog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) - Microservices architecture, API-first development, CI/CD pipelines What I love doing: - Building robust backend solutions that scale - Solving real-world problems with clean, maintainable code - Collaborating across teams to deliver high-impact features I thrive in environments that value creativity, collaboration and flexibility. As someone who is deeply investigative and realistic, I’m always looking for innovative ways to improve systems and processes. Currently open to roles in backend or full-stack engineering, especially with tech-forward startups or mid-sized companies working on modern backend systems, real-time data, or API platforms. Let’s connect if you're looking for someone who can bring technical leadership, clean architecture, and a problem-solving mindset to your team.
