## About

Backend Engineer specializing in Distributed Systems, Event\-Driven Architectures, and High\-Scale Backend Platforms\. Currently working as an SDE\-2 at Zepto, building scalable backend systems that power large\-scale operational workflows and real\-time inventory movement at scale\. My work focuses on designing reliable distributed systems with strong consistency, fault tolerance, and high throughput\. I enjoy solving engineering challenges around concurrency, asynchronous processing, event streaming, and system resiliency\. Recent work includes: Building a self\-healing distributed inventory ledger with 99\.5% accuracy using Go, PostgreSQL, and Kafka Designing event\-driven backend services handling large\-scale inventory workflows Developing real\-time automation systems integrating IoT devices with warehouse platforms Architecting vehicle\-based receiving systems that significantly reduced operational losses Previously at Zeotap, I worked on large\-scale data integration systems processing 2TB\+ data daily across 140\+ external platforms\. Core Interests: Distributed Systems Backend Architecture Event Streaming Systems High\-Throughput APIs Data\-Intensive Applications Reliability Engineering Tech Stack: Go • PostgreSQL • Kafka • gRPC • Kubernetes • Microservices • AWS • GCP Open to backend engineering and distributed systems opportunities where engineering scale and system design are core challenges\.
