I build backend systems that process high transaction volumes reliably — and make sure the next engineer can understand and extend them. At Avalara, I own tax-calculation APIs for the Shopify connector, serving thousands of merchants in production. I designed a migration flow for the Mirakl connector that cut manual effort by 40% and improved merchant onboarding by 25%. These aren't just metrics — they're the result of thinking carefully about system design, integration contracts, and the edge cases that blow up at scale. Before that, at Kloudspot I delivered full-stack Java/Spring Boot features end-to-end — from API design through production deployment — in a fast-moving agile team. Core stack: Java · Spring Boot · Microservices · Kafka · Redis · AWS · PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · Docker · CI/CD · GitHub Actions · REST API Design · System Design (HLD/LLD) · Distributed Systems · Event-Driven Architecture · Spring Security · Spring Data JPA · Angular What I'm looking for: SDE 2 / Senior Backend Engineer roles at product companies or funded startups working on high-throughput systems, platform infrastructure, or distributed systems problems. Open to Bangalore or remote. If you're building something interesting, let's talk.
