About

With 4+ years in Network Operations & Service Delivery, I developed a deep obsession with system reliability, uptime, and performance under pressure. That foundation now makes me a sharper backend developer. For the past 4+ years, I've been designing and building Java-based backend systems at Hexaware Technologies — working across microservices, REST APIs, Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate . 🔧 Tech I work with daily: → Core Java & Java 8 (Streams, Lambdas, Functional Interfaces) → Spring Boot · Spring MVC · REST APIs → Microservices Architecture · Service Mesh → JPA / Hibernate · MySQL → JUnit · Mockito . Agile / Scrum 💡 What makes me different: → Network Ops background = I write code that considers failure modes, latency, and recovery — not just happy paths → Service Delivery background = I understand SLAs, incident response, and cross-team communication → I don't just write features — I think about how they fail at 3AM 🎯 Currently targeting senior backend/backend lead roles in product-based companies where engineering quality and system design matter. 📩 Open to conversations — DM me or reach out at [poojapratikmisal@gmail.com]
