About

Backend Software Engineer at Amazon with experience building scalable distributed systems and event-driven microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and AWS. I enjoy solving complex backend problems involving large-scale data processing, reliability, and system performance. I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science from NIT Srinagar, where my interest in backend engineering started through competitive programming and systems-level problem solving. During this time, I became an ICPC Kanpur Regionalist (AIR 34) and achieved Specialist on Codeforces, building a strong foundation in algorithms, efficiency, and performance-driven thinking. At Amazon, I work on backend services and event-driven architectures where I have: • Built a real-time alerting system using AWS (S3, SNS, SQS, Lambda, Chatbot) that improved issue detection time by ~90% • Designed data ingestion and correction pipelines using AWS Glue, Lambda, and Aurora to maintain financial data consistency • Automated operational workflows using serverless architecture, eliminating manual execution and saving hours per run • Debugged and resolved production issues in distributed systems during on-call rotations to maintain service reliability Previously, I worked at UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) and Infineon Technologies where I: • Built backend APIs and microservices for enterprise payroll and workforce management platforms • Worked on multi-tenant enterprise architectures • Developed internal tools to automate complex configuration workflows Areas I enjoy working on: • Backend Engineering • Distributed Systems • System Design & Scalability • Event-Driven Architectures • Cloud Infrastructure Tech Stack: Java • Spring Boot • Microservices • AWS (Lambda, S3, SQS, SNS, Glue) • SQL • REST APIs • Distributed Systems
