About

I am a Software Engineer with about 2.5 years of experience building backend systems and services that solve real world problems at scale. My work is primarily focused on Java based backend development, where I design and implement reliable, maintainable APIs and infrastructure that support business critical workflows, and occasionally integrate AI driven components to enhance system intelligence and decision making. In my current role, I work on an Account Validation Services platform used by financial institutions to validate individuals and businesses. This involves building core backend services, working with data stores and pipelines, and ensuring correctness, performance, and resilience in production environments. Previously, I was part of a large scale cloud modernization initiative for the File upload system platform, which impacted 11 enterprise applications. I built multiple core components from scratch in Java, including request processing, file ingestion, and configuration driven UI property loading, while working with Oracle SQL backends and Kafka integrations. The project focused on improving system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency as services were migrated and re architected for the cloud. Along the way, I have also been exposed to AI adjacent work, such as integrating NLP based components, working with graph driven pipelines, and contributing to internal evaluation tooling. I see this as an extension of systems engineering, understanding how data flows through services and how intelligent components can be integrated cleanly and responsibly into larger systems. Away from the keyboard, I’m an international chess player, and that experience deeply shapes how I think. I enjoy breaking down complex problems, anticipating patterns, and finding the most efficient path to a solution. Whether it’s writing scalable code, exploring AI, or cracking a good board game or puzzle, I love challenges that demand both logic and imagination. For me, it’s all about thinking a few moves ahead in engineering and in life.
