About

Software Engineer with 2+ years at Capgemini working with Cisco Systems on enterprise-scale identity and authentication systems. I work primarily in Java and JavaScript, building things that actually run in production — SSO flows handling 100K+ users, Kafka pipelines across distributed services, and REST APIs following clean architecture principles. Most of my work sits at the intersection of backend systems and security — OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, token lifecycle management, and microservices that need to be reliable under real load. I've also picked up full-stack work along the way, building React frontends and real-time systems with WebSockets and Redis. Outside of work I build projects to go deeper on system design concepts — recently built a full-stack Rate Limiter from scratch implementing a Sliding Window algorithm with queue mode using CompletableFuture-based long polling. The kind of thing that's easy to read about but teaches you a lot more when you actually build it. Currently focused on backend engineering, distributed systems, and anything that involves making systems more reliable at scale. Open to conversations about backend, full-stack, or platform engineering roles.

Work experience

Associate II - Software Engineer at Capgemini, Apr 2024 - May 2026 · 2 yrs 2 mos, Gurugram, Client - Cisco Systems | Team - WebEx Redesigned enterprise authentication flow, enabling organization wide transition to system browser based login impacting 100K+ users. Built a configurable organization level feature toggle, allowing scalable rollout of the behavior across multiple enterprise customers without additional engineering changes. Designed and integrated RESTful APIs within a microservices architecture to manage project states, and implemented request management features like scheduling, task assignment, and deadline enforcement. By leveraging multi-threading, I enhanced API performance, and I actively monitored production through Kibana logs, quickly identifying and resolving issues to minimize downtime. Built a HAR log analysis tool to automate network trace debugging, reducing manual analysis time by 70-80%, later adopted by 30+ engineers team across internal teams. Owned SSO incident response across OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML 2.0 for 40+ premium enterprise Webex orgs, resolved 100+ production incidents including certificate expiry outages affecting 1000+ users, across Azure Entra ID, Cisco Directory Connector, and ADFS integrations.
