## Headline

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 \(UAE, Europe\)\.
