About

Backend engineer with 2 years building production-grade APIs and distributed systems for fintech and B2B e-commerce platforms. My core stack: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, and event-driven architecture. At Growthhive, I've shipped payment gateway integrations (PayU), built webhook handlers and reconciliation systems for transaction accuracy, and cut search latency from ~500ms to ~80ms using Meilisearch and Redis caching. I work across the full backend lifecycle — API design, DB optimisation, third-party integrations, and async processing. Outside work, I'm building SignalForge — a market signals API that ingests live financial data, computes RSI/MACD/moving averages, and uses an AI layer to generate plain-English reasoning for buy/sell signals. Actively looking for remote backend engineering roles (fintech preferred) and open to relocation to UAE with visa sponsorship. khuleatharva26@gmail.com | +91-7058448604

Backend Software Engineer at Growth Hive LLP, Apr 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Fintech backend engineer building payment systems, distributed APIs, and high-performance data pipelines on Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. • Integrated PayU payment gateway end-to-end — built webhook handlers for success/failure/pending events and an hourly reconciliation cron job polling PayU's API to sync transaction states, ensuring payment accuracy even when webhooks are missed. • Cut product search latency by 84% (500ms → 80ms) by migrating from DB queries to Meilisearch-indexed search, with Redis caching on high-frequency inventory endpoints to reduce repeat DB load. • Built a unified event-driven notification service consolidating WhatsApp, Email, and SMS — a single dispatcher resolves channel, assembles template context, and routes to the appropriate plugin, eliminating duplicated logic across 3 channels. • Designed distributor-aware inventory filtering at the API layer — ensuring each customer only sees products available at their assigned distributor across a multi-tenant B2B platform. • Maintained RESTful APIs for order, inventory, and customer management using Node.js, Medusa.js, TypeORM, and PostgreSQL on a multi-distributor B2B e-commerce platform.
