Backend Engineer @ Deutsche Bank | Java | Spring Boot | Apache Kafka | Distributed Systems

About

I am a Backend Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable Java microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven backend platforms at Deutsche Bank. My core expertise is in Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, GraphQL, and Kubernetes (OpenShift), with a strong focus on building reliable, fault-tolerant, and observable backend services. I enjoy solving engineering problems involving distributed systems, workflow automation, and platform modernization. Highlights from my work: • Designed a greenfield Java/Spring Boot microservice using Apache Kafka to process 1,000+ daily risk events across 200+ monitored indicators. • Modernized backend services by migrating from Java 8 / Spring 3 to Java 17 / Spring Boot 3. • Designed Kafka-based workflow tracking, reducing dashboard update latency from 15 minutes to milliseconds across 15+ business units. • Led the migration of 8 production services from OpenShift OCP3 to OCP4, reducing deployment time by over 55% and smoke-testing effort by 90%. • Built a proof-of-concept observability platform using New Relic NerdGraph APIs to automate application onboarding and SLI/SLO configuration. Outside work, I enjoy competitive programming and backend engineering. I am a CodeChef 4-Star (Max Rating: 1929), Codeforces Specialist, and have solved 1,000+ algorithmic problems across LeetCode, Codeforces, and CodeChef. I am currently open to Backend Software Engineer opportunities across India, Ireland, the UK, Poland, the Netherlands, Germany.
