About

Software Development Engineer with 8+ years of experience in scalable system design and backend optimization, particularly in fintech. At RazorpayX, I re-architected key systems, reducing processing times and improving SLA compliance. I have built golang microservices from scratch and successfully deployed them to production by ramping up existing traffic to 100% without any rollbacks. I launched an automated P2P lending solution that cut loan processing from 24 hours to 5 seconds and led a successful transition to micro services architecture. My major focus has been in driving the reconciliation module to provide better insights to customers on their money movement and to help prevent money loss. My expertise includes Go, AWS, Kafka, and TypeScript, with a strong focus on Test-Driven Development (TDD) and extreme programming practices. I have also worked on frontend technologies such as React and Angular. I'm passionate about mentoring teams to achieve technical excellence and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I'm driven by the challenge of building robust, scalable solutions that meet the demands of dynamic industries and am always eager to collaborate on innovative projects.
