Lead Software Engineer at Informatica | NIT Jalandhar

About

I am a backend software engineer focused on building fast, reliable distributed systems. I enjoy solving hard performance bottlenecks and making data pipelines run efficiently at scale. Currently, I lead a team of engineers building enterprise data integration tools. Recently, I architected a Change Data Capture (CDC) engine that processes over 100 million events a day. By fixing multi-node database locks and building a dynamic, memory-aware processing mode, we cut sync latency by 60% and improved data throughput 4x. I also care deeply about how engineering teams operate. I introduced automated CI/CD quality gates, sprint processes, and a rotational on-call schedule to reduce context-switching. This protected the team's focus and sped up our feature delivery by 20%. Core Stack & Focus: • Systems: Distributed Systems, Microservices, CDC, Event Sourcing, Batch & Async Processing • Languages & Tools: Java, SQL, Spring Boot, Kafka, Netty, Kubernetes, AWS, Docker
