SDE1 @ Société Générale | Backend Engineer | Java 17 | Spring Boot | Microservices | Distributed Systems | REST APIs | 350+ DSA Problems Solved

About

Software Engineer at Société Générale building scalable backend systems with Java 17, Spring Boot 3, Microservices, REST APIs, Oracle SQL, Jenkins, and distributed event-driven architectures. Over the last 2+ years, I’ve worked across enterprise modernization, backend platform engineering, automation, and high-throughput financial systems. My experience includes: • Modernizing 7+ enterprise applications from TIBCO to Java 17 & Spring Boot 3 microservices • Building backend services processing 10,000+ financial trade events daily • Designing REST APIs and scalable backend workflows for critical banking platforms • Leading migrations that improved performance by 45%, reduced production issues, and simplified maintainability • Driving security remediation initiatives that reduced critical vulnerabilities by 55% • Building automation platforms that reduced manual onboarding effort from 12 hours to approximately 2 hours Beyond my professional work, I actively build AI-powered products using LLMs, RAG, vector databases, Redis, BullMQ, Next.js, and cloud-native technologies. I enjoy shipping real products, experimenting with Generative AI, and solving challenging engineering problems. I regularly practice data structures and algorithms (350+ problems solved) and continuously deepen my understanding of distributed systems, system design, and backend architecture. I’m currently exploring Backend Software Engineer opportunities where I can build large-scale distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, AI-powered products, and customer-facing engineering solutions.
