Senior Backend Engineer | Java, Spring Boot, Kafka | Microservices & Distributed Systems

About

Senior Backend Engineer, 6 years of experience, currently building Neo4j-based network inventory and Kafka alarm-correlation systems at BT Group. Most of my work sits at the intersection of Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka, building services that process high volumes of real-time data. At BT, that's meant designing a Neo4j-based inventory platform that tracks how every device, port, and connection in a telecom network relates to each other. Basically a live map of the network's infrastructure. I also built a service that streams fault alerts from our monitoring systems into Kafka, correlating related alarms so the same issue doesn't generate duplicate tickets across teams. Before this, I spent close to 4 years at Robosoft Technologies working across very different domains. Order processing for a food delivery platform handling multiple channels (App, Swiggy, Zomato), and a healthcare platform managing patient billing and insurance workflows. On the healthcare side, I added Redis caching that cut response times by 30% and tightened validation logic that brought billing errors down by 25%. I've also spent time on the other side of the table, conducting technical interviews for mid-level engineering candidates, which has sharpened how I think about explaining and defending design decisions. Always interested in connecting around backend engineering, distributed systems, and network infrastructure work.

Work experience

Software Engineering Professional at BT Group, Aug 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Designed a graph-database-based inventory platform (Neo4j) that models real-time relationships between network devices, ports, and services, consuming data from Kafka and multiple ingestion sources. Built custom parsers to validate and process high-volume data streams across formats, keeping the platform in sync with the company's network monitoring systems. Redesigned an analytics platform handling 200K+ records per query, cutting data retrieval time 80% (10+ min to 2.5 min) through query optimization, compression, and caching. Built alarm-correlation workflows that reduced duplicate ticket generation and improved fault-management efficiency, processing lakhs of daily events via Kafka. Reviewed code and mentored junior engineers on implementation approaches.
