About

Backend Engineer with about 4 years of experience building distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, security features, and high-scale backend services at Yugabyte. I lead and specialize in Java, Python, distributed databases, microservices, observability, backend architecture, and system reliability. Strengths include backend development, API design, security engineering, performance optimization, cloud infrastructure, debugging, and production ownership. I work across the full lifecycle - PRDs, system design, implementation, testing, and customer-facing rollouts. I’m motivated by building reliable, scalable, secure systems, and I enjoy working on complex backend challenges involving databases, infrastructure, and distributed architectures.
