SDE II @ JPMorganChase | Backend Engineer | Java | Spring Boot | Kafka | AWS | Distributed Systems | Microservices

About

Hi, I’m a Backend Software Engineer with over 3 years of experience (plus internship experience) working on cloud-native applications and distributed systems. I primarily work with Java (Spring Boot), Kafka, gRPC, and Python, building RESTful and event-driven services that integrate across systems and databases. I’ve contributed to designing scalable APIs, improving performance, resolving production issues, and deploying services on AWS using Docker and CI/CD pipelines. My interests lie in distributed systems, system design, and building reliable backend platforms. I enjoy understanding how systems interact, how they scale, and how performance and observability can be improved in production environments. Alongside backend development, I’ve worked with automation tooling, database optimisation, and occasionally contributed to frontend components. I continuously strengthen my foundation in data structures, scalable architecture patterns, and cloud technologies. I hold valid Australian work rights and am open to relocation. If you’re working on backend platforms, distributed systems, or cloud-native applications, I’d be glad to connect. Reach out to: palaktandon1011@gmail.com
