About

I am an experienced Software Engineer and am also a Master's graduate in Computer Science from the University of Southern California (USC). I have a knack for building scalable high performance systems, reliable backend development and frontend optimization. My work spans across Web Development and Cloud Integration. Thriving in fast paced Agile environments, specializing in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and distributed applications, with experience designing high-performance APIs, improving system reliability and optimizing infrastructure for growing platforms. At Insider.in, I helped scale an event-ticketing platform to handle 20,000 concurrent requests, improving uptime from 87% to 99.5% while optimizing performance across thousands of pages and tens of thousands of users. That experience reinforced what I enjoy most about engineering: building systems that operate reliably at scale and solving complex performance challenges with clean, scalable architecture. My competencies: Programming Languages: Python, Javascript, Typescript, Kotlin, Java, C#, Golang Frameworks: Node.js, React, Next.js, Angular, Spring Boot Cloud & CI/CD Technologies: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Git Tools: Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch Database: MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB I’m passionate about working on scalable platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-native applications, particularly in environments where engineering decisions directly influence product performance and growth. If you’re building interesting products or tackling challenging engineering problems, I’d love to connect. #SoftwareEngineering #BackendEngineering #DistributedSystems
