Backend engineer who ships — real-time trading infra at UBS, plus a growing portfolio of self-built microservices & AI systems

About

Graduated with a Master’s degree in Information Technology from Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in 2022. Developed a strong technical foundation during an internship at Cognizant, where they built a Spring Boot REST API for an e-commerce application, focusing on order management and payment systems. Most recently, contributed as a Java Software Engineer at UBS, where they designed and developed Spring Boot microservices for business-critical backend workflows. Worked on RESTful APIs, Spring Data JPA, and Kafka integration for event-driven communication. Improved application performance through Redis caching, implemented JWT authentication, and containerized services using Docker while adhering to clean code principles and Agile methodology. Recognized with a Star Performer award at UBS for delivering a high-quality FX Dashboard ahead of schedule.spent three years building infrastructure for real-time trading systems at UBS Business Solutions — the kind of environment where a slow response isn't a bug, it's a missed trade. That's where I learned to build for latency and correctness at the same time, first in C#, then in Java as the stack evolved. Today I work primarily in Java and Spring Boot, with Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes rounding out my day-to-day toolkit. I think in event streams and service boundaries, not just endpoints. Since leaving UBS, I've kept building. A Kafka-based real-time trade monitoring dashboard. A Go-based API gateway, built specifically to pick up Golang. FinSight AI, a RAG-based financial anomaly detection pipeline using LangChain4j and pgvector. Right now I'm building Zym, a multi-service gym and fitness platform, one Spring Boot microservice at a time — auth, bookings, workout tracking, and a social feed are live, with payments and the frontend still ahead. I hold a Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals certification and an Integrated MTech from Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore. I'm open to backend and microservices engineering roles — in India's fintech space or internationally, with relocation support (UAE, Europe).
