About

Software Engineer with experience building scalable backend systems, microservices, and cloud-based applications. Currently working at CGI, contributing to production-grade financial platforms by improving system reliability, resolving critical incidents, and optimizing backend performance. I specialize in designing and developing RESTful services using Java, Python, and modern backend frameworks such as Spring Boot, Flask, and Node.js. My work focuses on scalable system design, distributed architectures, and high-availability services. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot production issues, modernize legacy services into microservices, and improve system uptime and performance. Previously, I built and deployed a cloud-based platform using Next.js and AWS that increased user engagement 2× and boosted platform traffic by 75%. I also developed backend APIs and integrated secure communication systems to support real-world production use cases. Beyond work, I actively strengthen my problem-solving and algorithmic thinking by solving data structures and algorithms challenges, with 700+ problems solved across coding platforms. This practice helps me write efficient, optimized solutions for large-scale systems. Core Areas of Interest: • Backend Engineering • Distributed Systems & Microservices • Cloud & DevOps (AWS, CI/CD) • Scalable API Design • Observability, Monitoring & System Reliability Tech Stack: Java • Python • Spring Boot • Flask • Node.js • React • AWS • PostgreSQL • MongoDB • Docker • Kafka • REST APIs I’m always interested in solving complex engineering problems and building systems that scale globally.
