About

I build distributed systems — not just manage them. Over 8+ years, I've designed and shipped microservices-based platforms in automotive, logistics, and travel, working across API design to production scaling. What I build: — Event-driven microservices using Java (8/11/17), Spring Boot, and Kafka for processing high-throughput events — Cloud-native services on AWS and Azure, containerized with Docker and orchestrated on Kubernetes — REST APIs and API Gateway integrations with OAuth-based security, built for high availability and horizontal scale — Caching and low-latency data layers with Redis; MQTT/HiveMQ-based messaging for car infotainment system. — Use agentic AI tooling — GitHub Copilot — to automate UAT workflows, accelerate PR reviews, and speed up day-to-day code development; hands-on with Claude Code, Ollama for running LLMs locally and have experience with Spring AI, RAG and MCP. How I work: I lead technical strategy for engineering teams — architecture reviews, code review standards, and mentoring — while staying hands-on: writing code, debugging production issues, and making the system-design calls that keep platforms reliable at scale. Currently exploring Lead Software Engineer/Architect roles where I can own distributed systems end-to-end.

Coforge — Technical Lead (Client: Expedia Group) at Coforge, Oct 2024 - Jul 2026 · 1 yr 10 mos, Gurugram, Haryana, India, ❖ Re-engineered a component within an Apache Storm-based streaming pipeline in a financial reporting data flow (Internal ledger system → BI reporting), eliminating traffic spikes and improving downstream stability ❖ Led AMI upgrades across a production application stack, resolving compatibility issues from an Amazon Linux 2023 migration ❖ Deprecated a costly data flow involving high-volume DynamoDB calls feeding a backend ETL process, delivering measurable AWS cost savings ❖ Decommissioned unused Lambda functions and AWS resources across multiple applications to reduce infrastructure sprawl ❖ Prepared and delivered SOX audit evidence and walkthroughs each quarter for financial systems compliance

Senior Engineer - Product Development at HARMAN India, May 2022 - Oct 2024 · 2 yrs 6 mos, Gurugram, Haryana, India, ❖ Real-Time Messaging & Streaming Architecture - Led the migration of a device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device MQTT messaging pipeline from HiveMQ 3 to HiveMQ 4, restructuring message processing logic to handle real-time, safety-critical data — including navigation, car-theft alerts, and accident alerts — for connected vehicle infotainment systems - Designed the downstream Kafka topic architecture fed by HiveMQ, with dedicated microservices consuming from topic-specific channels (e.g., a dedicated alerts topic) to process and route time-sensitive vehicle data independently - Used Redis to cache topic-to-data-type mappings within the HiveMQ layer, reducing message-routing lookup overhead for high-frequency real-time traffic ❖ Identity, Access & API Platform - Built and owned the Identity and Access Management (IAM) system powering a customer-facing portal/app for vehicle info and alerts, exposing REST APIs through an API Gateway - Integrated WSO2 API Manager and developed custom plugins to extend user authentication and access management beyond out-of-the-box capability - Used Elasticsearch as the backing data store for the IAM system ❖ Deployment & Infrastructure - Containerized and deployed microservices using Docker, orchestrated on Kubernetes

Senior Software Engineer at HCL Technologies, Apr 2021 - May 2022 · 1 yr 2 mos, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, ❖ Redesigned the system architecture to significantly improve the processing speed, enabling it to handle a greater volume of requests in a reduced time frame. ❖ Conducted thorough system analysis to identify areas of improvement, leading to enhanced performance and reliability of the TNET system, which is pivotal for DHL's tracking services. ❖ Streamlined communication between IT teams and business stakeholders, fostering better alignment on project goals and ensuring that business reporting needs were met through automation. ❖ Presented detailed technical solutions to both internal and client stakeholders, addressing their unique requirements and expectations for system functionality and efficiency. ❖ Ensured that all project deliverables were of the highest quality by implementing rigorous testing, validation, and review processes. ❖ Managed detailed project documentation via Azure DevOps, facilitating smooth collaboration and knowledge transfer among team members.
