Strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures & Algorithms, and software design — backed by 300+ solved problems on Scaler and 420+ on LeetCode. I enjoy debugging complex, high-stakes systems and translating root cause analysis into measurable reliability gains. Currently deepening my backend engineering skills in Spring Boot, distributed systems, and databases like MySQL. Open to backend engineering roles where I can own features end-to-end — feel free to connect or reach out.
