About

I'm a Software Development Engineer with a passion for building scalable backend systems, distributed applications, and AI-powered products that solve real-world problems. Previously, at e2open, I developed and optimized backend microservices using Java, Spring Boot, MySQL, Apache Tomcat, REST APIs, and distributed system principles. My work involved designing scalable services, improving system performance, resolving production issues, and building reliable software that processes 20,000+ files every day. Some of the engineering challenges I've worked on include: 1. Scaling a production data processing platform to support file sizes from 100 MB to 2 GB 2. Reducing API response time by 87% using caching strategies 3. Designing and developing RESTful APIs and backend architectures for enterprise applications 4. Increasing automated test coverage from 25% to 84% using JUnit and Mockito Outside my professional work, I enjoy building products from scratch. I founded ColdScribe, an AI-powered SaaS platform that generates personalized cold emails using OpenAI, Next.js, Django, and AWS. The product attracted over 500 global users and received 150+ Product Hunt upvotes, giving me valuable experience across product development, user experience, SEO, cloud deployment, and go-to-market execution. I'm also passionate about Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), System Design, Cloud Computing, Distributed Systems, and backend architecture. One of my favourite side projects, Narrative Vision, automatically generates short-form videos from text using OpenAI models, AWS services, and media processing pipelines. I enjoy solving complex algorithmic problems and have solved 700+ coding problems across LeetCode and GeeksforGeeks, strengthening my understanding of Data Structures, Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming, Database Management Systems, and Software Engineering. Technical Expertise • Java • Spring Boot • Microservices • REST APIs • Distributed Systems • MySQL • SQL • AWS • Docker • Kafka • Git • System Design • React • Node.js • Express.js • OpenAI API • Generative AI • Python • C++ • CI/CD • JUnit • Mockito I'm always excited to connect with engineers, founders, and technology leaders who are building scalable systems, cloud-native applications, AI products, and impactful software. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud technologies, or Generative AI.
