About

Engineering leader with 13+ years designing, scaling, and managing enterprise Java and Spring Boot platforms across banking, fintech, payments, and travel — currently leading backend architecture at Reward360 for loyalty and rewards platforms processing ₹450 Cr+ in transaction volume. I specialize in HLD/LLD system design, microservices on AWS, and high-throughput earn-and-burn rewards engines for banking partners, including complex integrations with airline providers, hotel aggregators, and payment gateways. More recently, I've been building GenAI and agentic systems — using LangGraph, Python, and FastAPI to power intelligent travel discovery and itinerary ranking workflows. I lead cross-functional engineering teams end-to-end: architecture, sprint execution, code quality, release pipelines, and mentoring engineers. Core areas: Java 17 · Spring Boot · Microservices · AWS · Docker · Redis · MySQL/MongoDB · GenAI & Agentic AI (LangGraph) · Engineering Leadership
