About

As a Backend Engineer with hands-on experience in building scalable services, APIs, and microservice-based systems, I focus on developing backend components that support real-world product needs and high-traffic environments. In my current role as an SDE-1 at Porter, I work across Java, Kotlin, and Python to build production-grade services, optimize business workflows, and maintain clean, modular backend architectures. My work spans distributed backend systems, PostgreSQL-driven data modeling, Redis-based caching, and asynchronous processing pipelines using Kafka. I’ve contributed to microservices that support multi-region operations, partner workflows, and platform features that directly impact user experience and operational efficiency. Working with tools like Kubernetes, Docker, GCP, Terraform, Helm, and GitHub Actions has strengthened my understanding of cloud-native engineering, deployment automation, observability, and maintaining reliable services in production environments. During my engineering education in AI & ML, I built a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and backend engineering principles. This, combined with project experience in LLM-based applications, document processing systems, and multi-tenant backend designs, helps me approach backend problems with structure, performance-awareness, and scalability in mind. I’m passionate about backend development, distributed system design, cloud platforms, and building systems that are robust, maintainable, and aligned with product impact. I enjoy learning modern backend tooling, improving existing workflows, and solving practical engineering challenges. If you’re looking for someone who can contribute to backend excellence and ship reliable product-ready code, feel free to connect—I’m always open to meaningful conversations and new opportunities.
