1. Built a production-grade real-time booking + video consultation platform from the ground up using NestJS, PostgreSQL, and Agora — handling concurrent live sessions, extensions, and cancellations without data loss 2. Architected full Stripe Connect payment lifecycle: booking charges, partial refunds, revenue splits, payout scheduling, and webhook idempotency — zero double-charge incidents in production 3. Designed event-driven notification system (FCM push + in-app) triggering on booking, payment, and session state changes — reducing missed-event rates by eliminating polling 4. Delivered admin dashboard APIs covering moderation, analytics, referral tracking, and onboarding — consolidating 6 separate workflows into a single role-based API surface 5. Integrated cron jobs and webhooks for reliable async operations — payout lifecycle, session expiry, and scheduled notifications running in production with no manual intervention

1. Designed and shipped enterprise-scale RESTful APIs using NestJS for a distributed system serving thousands of daily active users — with sub-200ms p95 latency via PostgreSQL query optimization and TypeORM tuning 2. Implemented microservices architecture across 4+ independently deployable services — reducing deployment blast radius and enabling parallel feature delivery across teams 3. Integrated Apache Kafka for real-time event-driven processing — decoupling producers and consumers to handle traffic spikes without service degradation. 4. Built and maintained AWS-native infrastructure (Lambda, EC2, RDS, S3) with CloudWatch monitoring and alerting — enabling zero-touch scaling during peak load 5. Led secure API development with token-based auth + RBAC — enforcing least-privilege access across all service boundaries

About

I build backends that scale under pressure — real-time booking platforms, payment pipelines, and distributed APIs that handle thousands of concurrent users without flinching. Over 6+ years, I've shipped production systems across fintech (Paytm), enterprise logistics (Toyota Motors), healthcare, and creator economy platforms — using Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, and AWS as my core stack. What I actually build: End-to-end booking + live video consultation platforms with real-time session management (Agora, WebRTC) Payment infrastructure — Stripe Connect payouts, revenue tracking, refund workflows, and webhook reliability Event-driven microservices using Apache Kafka; deployed and monitored on AWS (Lambda, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch) Secure auth systems — JWT, RBAC, SupaBase Auth — handling user, stylist, and admin role hierarchies Vehicle logistics tracking backend for Toyota Motors; cloud-hosted form automation and digital healthcare APIs My edge: I think in systems, not just endpoints. I've designed modular architectures from scratch at Infosys and Sofyrus — clean enough to hand off, robust enough to survive production. I care about latency, data integrity, and financial logic being correct the first time. Currently: Backend Developer at Touchzen Media (US), building a real-time stylist booking platform. Open to high-impact backend roles — especially in fast-scaling products, API-first platforms, or companies that care about engineering quality.
