Software Engineer with ~4 years of experience building backend systems using distributed systems, microservices, and high-throughput APIs. Experience includes designing transaction systems, data pipelines, and service orchestration with a focus on scalability, low latency, and reliability. At Kotak Mahindra Bank, built systems supporting 600K+ UPI transactions during downtimes, reduced operational effort by 90%+, and identified 2.7 billion INR in reporting discrepancies through automated credit-risk pipelines. Improved performance (30x faster services, 30% lower latency) and reduced test time from 1 day to 30 minutes. Tech: Java, Go, Python | Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL | AWS, Docker Currently exploring AI engineering and LLM-based systems in production contexts.
