About

Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native microservices, and enterprise-grade applications. Currently working at UKG, contributing to distributed systems, observability platforms, CI/CD automation, analytics solutions, and AI-assisted engineering workflows using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kubernetes, Kafka, and GCP. Previously worked at AI4Bharat as a Full Stack Developer, where I contributed to AI-driven platforms, real-time transcription systems, workflow automation, and scalable data pipelines for large-scale language technology initiatives. I enjoy building engineering productivity solutions, intelligent automation systems, and developer-focused tooling. Recently worked on AI-assisted workflows including a BIRT Report Design Reviewer plugin and an intelligent Jira triaging agent leveraging historical issue analysis and code-context understanding. Beyond engineering, I have led developer communities, mentored students, organized coding events and hackathons, and contributed technical content for the developer ecosystem. Interested in: • Backend Engineering • Distributed Systems • Cloud-Native Applications • Software Engineering-2 / Senior Software Roles • Platform Engineering • AI-Powered Developer Tools • Scalable SaaS Products
