About

I’m a backend engineer who enjoys building systems that operate at scale, handle real-world complexity, and solve meaningful problems. My work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, security, and intelligent automation — with a strong focus on designing resilient, event-driven architectures that are both performant and maintainable.At Trulogik, I’ve been architecting microservices to automate clinical prior authorization audits, replacing manual workflows with fully automated, secure pipelines. I work extensively with Kafka-driven systems, high-throughput ingestion services, Zero-Trust security models, and RBAC-driven access control to ensure sensitive healthcare data is processed with strict integrity and compliance. My focus is not just on making systems work — but making them scalable, observable, and production-hardened.Previously at Paytm, I built distributed notification and ingestion systems handling thousands of events per second, where reliability, idempotency, and performance tuning were critical. That experience shaped how I think about backend engineering — as a discipline grounded in concurrency control, transactional guarantees, and operational excellence.Technically, I work primarily with Java and Spring Boot, event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ), relational and NoSQL databases, containerized deployments, and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes). I’m particularly interested in system design, performance optimization, and designing clean service boundaries in distributed environments.I approach backend engineering with a systems mindset:* Think in terms of consistency models and failure modes* Design for observability and scale from day one* Prioritize clean abstractions over quick patches* Build infrastructure that other engineers can extend confidentlyI’m motivated by ownership, architectural depth, and building backend systems that quietly power critical workflows at scale.
