SDE-1 @ Star Health | Backend Engineer | Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis | Scalable Microservices & Distributed Systems

About

Backend Engineer passionate about building scalable distributed systems and high-performance microservices. Skilled in Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and event-driven architecture, with hands-on experience designing backend platforms that support high-volume transactional workflows and concurrent processing at scale. I enjoy working on system optimization, asynchronous communication, caching mechanisms, workflow orchestration, and scalable API design. Constantly exploring backend architecture patterns, distributed systems concepts, and modern engineering practices to build reliable and efficient platforms. Outside of day-to-day development, I actively learn and write about backend engineering concepts, scalable system design, and modern Java ecosystem technologies.

Work experience

Software Development Engineer - 1 at Star Health and Allied Insurance Co. Ltd, Aug 2024 - Present · 2 yrs, Pune District, Maharashtra, India, As a Software Development Engineer – 1, I design and develop scalable Spring Boot microservices for high-volume insurance platforms and transaction systems. I contributed to the development of Group Order and Renewal Order Platforms for fresh policy issuance and policy renewals, enabling streamlined group insurance onboarding and renewal workflows through a distributed microservices architecture. Engineered backend services handling 10,000+ daily transactions with high reliability and optimized execution flows to improve policy issuance performance by 60%. Designed Kafka-driven asynchronous processing pipelines and integrated Redis caching to improve throughput, reduce latency, and enhance system resilience under concurrent load. Worked extensively on REST APIs, event-driven architecture, workflow orchestration, and scalable backend system design while collaborating across multiple product and business teams.

Software Intern at Softhard Automation Private Limited, Sep 2023 - Jan 2024 · 5 mos, Pune District, Maharashtra, India, During my internship as a Backend Developer, I worked on developing Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) services using Java and Spring Boot to simplify frontend-backend communication. I built and optimized REST APIs, improved service performance, and contributed to scalable backend architecture, ensuring smooth data flow and better application responsiveness.
