SDE @ DP World | Ex-Uber Intern | Backend Engineer | Java · Golang · Microservices | Expert on Codeforces

About

As a Software Engineering Intern at Uber (Jan–Jun 2025), I automated the ETCD cluster provisioning flow across 5 cross-functional teams, cutting SLA by ~80% and directly enabling Uber's K8s cluster orchestration infrastructure. That's the kind of work I gravitate toward: high-ownership, cross-system problems where the solution actually ships. Currently at DP World as an SDE, I'm building the procurement platform from the ground up — designing microservices for end-to-end Purchase Order lifecycle management with Kafka-driven event messaging, Redis caching, idempotent REST APIs, and 90%+ unit test coverage. I care about systems that don't break in production. What I bring: Deep backend fundamentals: Java, Spring Boot, Golang, distributed systems, Kafka, Redis Full-stack ability when needed: React, JavaScript, REST APIs Competitive programming edge: Codeforces Expert (1680), LeetCode Knight (top 2%), global rank 295 in LC Weekly #400 Strong CS foundations: DBMS, OS, Networks, OOP — from NSUT Delhi (CGPA: 8.48) What I'm looking for: High-impact roles in Backend Engineering, SRE, Full Stack, or Software Engineering at companies where engineering quality actually matters. Preferably roles involving distributed systems, infrastructure, or product-facing APIs at scale.

Work experience

SDE at DP World, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, - Architected and shipped microservices for a core procurement platform handling end-to-end Purchase Order (PO) lifecycle workflows designed for high availability, fault tolerance, and zero data loss. - Reduced API latency by optimizing critical database queries - Enforced data consistency across distributed services using idempotent REST API design and distributed transaction patterns, eliminated duplicate-processing bugs in production workflows. - Achieved 90%+ unit test coverage across owned modules; implemented circuit-breaker patterns and graceful degradation to prevent cascading failures in the procurement pipeline.

Software Engineer Intern at Uber, Jan 2025 - Jun 2025 · 6 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, - Owned and delivered end-to-end automation of ETCD cluster and instance provisioning through Uber's Storage Portal (UI + API), eliminating manual provisioning bottlenecks for the storage infrastructure team. - Reduced provisioning SLA by ~80% by streamlining request flows through the storage-portal — directly unblocking Uber's internal Kubernetes cluster orchestration project. - Coordinated across 5 engineering teams to automate a multi-system flow spanning storage, orchestration, and infrastructure services — required hands-on contributions to each team's codebase. - Improved ETCD alerts observability, increasing effective on-call bandwidth for 3 teams and reducing noise in critical production monitoring pipelines.

Programming SIG at Algorithm Society of NSUT, Nov 2022 - Dec 2023 · 1 yr 2 mos, Ran competitive programming sessions and contest breakdowns for LeetCode contests, helping members improve problem-solving techniques across graph theory, DP, and data structures.
