Constructed a scalable subscription entitlement system serving millions of users, supporting daily content unlocks for paid and trial users and cutting entitlement-related support tickets by 25%. Built robust payment reconciliation and refund workflows, detecting 100% of duplicate transactions and automating refunds, which decreased payment-related complaints by 30% and improved financial accuracy. Developed a server-driven analytics event processing system handling millions of events per day, delivering actionable insights on trial cancellations, purchases, and subscriptions that accelerated business reporting by 40%. Engineered an autoplay feature that increased average session duration by 12–18% and improved content consumption through seamless recommendations. Owned end-to-end backend support for the iOS app launch, integrating Apple Pay to enable secure transactions and contributing to a high-success payment rate ( around 98%) at launch. Diagnosed and resolved a long-standing Datadog issue that blocked monitoring for 3+ months, restoring 100% API observability and significantly reducing incident detection time.

About

As a Software Engineer - Backend at PocketFm, I specialize in cloud and backend development with expertise across multiple technologies. I have hands-on experience in Python, Go, and Java, and I excel in building scalable, high-performance applications using frameworks like Django and Spring Boot. I am well-versed in cloud technologies, including AWS, and proficient in implementing CI/CD pipelines, managing Kubernetes clusters, and containerizing applications with Docker. My experience in microservices architecture enables me to design modular, robust systems for enterprise solutions. I have worked extensively with messaging and stream-processing platforms like Kafka and Apache Flink, ensuring real-time data processing and seamless communication between services. In terms of data management, I have deep experience with SQL, Postgres, Cassandra, and Redis, and I’m skilled in distributed task queues using Celery for asynchronous, large-scale processing. My work ensures optimized performance and data integrity across all layers of the application stack. With a solid academic foundation and practical industry experience, I’m passionate about solving complex problems and driving innovation through cloud-native architectures and backend systems. I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and am always eager to explore new technologies and challenges. Let’s connect if you’re interested in collaborating on cloud infrastructures, backend systems, or real-time data processing projects!
