About

Hello! I’m Jagdish 👋 I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems from concept to production. Frontend: React.js, JavaScript, HTML, CSS Backend: Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, Python (FastAPI, Django) Databases: SQL & NoSQL DevOps & Cloud: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, AWS Architecture: Microservices, Distributed Systems, Kafka AI Interest: Generative AI & applied ML systems I focus on building systems that are not just functional — but scalable, reliable, maintainable, and production-ready. After a journey of 100+ interviews, countless rejections, near misses, and lessons, I’m proud to have joined Atlassian as SDE-2. This journey tested everything — patience, confidence, discipline, and belief. Over the past months, I interviewed with some of the world’s top companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Oracle, Walmart, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, SAP, Salesforce, Adobe, Nutanix, Cohesity, Agoda, Morgan Stanley, and many more. I reached final rounds at multiple top product companies. Some opportunities slipped by inches — but each experience strengthened my: Data Structures & Algorithms fundamentals System Design & Scalable Architecture thinking Backend Engineering depth Problem-solving under pressure Behavioral storytelling using the STAR method Coming from a service-based background and competing for top product roles wasn’t easy. There were phases of burnout and self-doubt. But I kept showing up, refining my preparation strategy, closing weak areas, and building real resilience.
