Software Engineer @Swiggy | Backend Development & Distributed Systems | Scalable Consumer Products

About

I am a Software Engineer at Swiggy, working on backend systems for high-scale consumer products in quick commerce. My work focuses on building scalable services, designing extensible APIs, improving performance, and shipping product features with measurable business impact. At Swiggy, I have worked on discovery, shopping-list, promotional, and merchandising systems used across large-scale customer journeys. I have contributed to reducing search latency, improving conversions, designing backward-compatible API contracts, leading canary rollouts, and building configurable platforms that help business teams launch experiments faster. I enjoy solving engineering problems around backend development, distributed systems, API design, concurrency, caching, data modeling, performance optimization, and production-grade application development. Outside work, I am building a distributed workflow orchestration engine in Go with DAG execution, scalable worker pools, retries, Redis Streams, REST/gRPC APIs, JWT-based access control, observability, and MCP-based tool invocation. I am interested in backend, platform, and distributed systems roles at high-scale technology companies. 📩 Always open to meaningful networking, collaboration, and discussions around backend engineering, distributed systems, and scalable applications.
