About

As a Senior Software Engineer at MakeMyTrip, I contribute to the development and optimization of high-scale distributed systems, supporting post-booking flows for services such as train, bus, and meals bookings. My work involves building microservices in Java, utilizing event-driven architecture with Kafka/RabbitMQ, and integrating diverse data stores like MySQL, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and Aerospike. I have also contributed to enhancing chatbot features, implementing real-time tracking systems, and designing solutions for new business verticals, such as meal booking systems. I hold a Bachelor of Technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, completed in 2020. My technical expertise includes reactive programming, NoSQL databases, and Docker. I am motivated by the challenge of creating scalable, reliable, and high-performance software solutions that improve user experiences and streamline operations.
