Software Engineer @ Paytm | Spring Boot · Kafka · Microservices | Scaled to 20M+ Users | High-Throughput Systems | Open to Backend Roles

About

I build backend systems that scale. Currently at Paytm, I work on distributed Java services that power financial workflows for 20M+ users — from high-throughput Kafka pipelines ingesting 426 TPS to zero-downtime statement delivery in PDF and Excel formats. A few things I've shipped recently: → Scaled Monthly Statement Flow from 2M → 20M+ users → Built a Kafka cashback pipeline with 99.9% delivery reliability → Cut production incident detection time from ~30 min to under 10 min via Grafana dashboards → Reduced DB query latency by 75% at Newgen through query tuning I care about writing clean, observable, production-ready code. I own what I build — from design to deployment to incident resolution. Tech I work with: Java · Spring Boot · Apache Kafka · Microservices · REST APIs · MySQL · Elasticsearch · AWS · Hibernate · Grafana · Prometheus Open to backend engineering roles at product companies building high-scale systems. 📩 prakharsaxena040396@gmail.com
