GCP-Certified Senior Software Engineer | Java, Spring, MySQL, Datadog, AI | FinTech

About

I am a senior software engineer based in Bangalore with 6+ years of experience building scalable, payment-critical backend systems in Java and Spring. I own the full engineering lifecycle - from design and performance optimization to cross-functional delivery with product, customer success and leadership teams. I've also taken on a significant observability role across the company, using Datadog - spanning APM, distributed tracing, log management and custom monitors - to maintain reliability across payment-critical systems at scale. Beyond reactive firefighting, I proactively surface issues, investigate errors, and identify failures before users report them. Across a year of this work, our services have held a sub-0.3% error rate. On the collaboration front, I work across a wide surface - product managers, customer success, leadership, external partners, and other engineering teams. I represent engineering in cross-functional discussions, translate business requirements into sound technical decisions, and regularly step in to help other teams resolve critical issues outside my direct ownership. I mentor junior engineers through structured code reviews, 1:1s, and onboarding, and have helped several ship their first production features under tight deadlines. I actively integrate AI tools like Claude, Google Antigravity, and Perplexity into my day-to-day workflow - accelerating research, sharpening technical documentation, and compressing debugging cycles. I believe engineers who learn to work alongside AI will build better products, faster, and I'm committed to staying at that edge. If you're looking for a senior engineer who combines strong fundamentals, deep observability experience, and a genuine curiosity for what's next - let's connect!
