About

Software Engineer focused on backend development, distributed systems, and performance engineering. Currently working at Samsung Research, I work on performance-critical C++ systems powering 1M+ Smart TVs, driving improvements in scalability, memory efficiency, reliability, and production stability. Previously at Atlassian, I built and maintained production-grade REST APIs and backend services using Kotlin, Spring MVC, and PostgreSQL, improving system traceability, data integrity, and operational reliability. I have hands-on experience with API design, database systems, CI/CD, automated testing, and debugging production issues. In addition, I’ve built full-stack applications using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), giving me strong exposure to end-to-end system design and scalable backend architecture. With strong fundamentals in Data Structures & Algorithms, Object-Oriented Design, and System Design, and a Codeforces Expert rating, I enjoy solving complex engineering problems. I’m open to backend engineering roles focused on large-scale services, cloud-native systems, and distributed infrastructure, where I can build reliable systems that operate at scale.
