## About

Backend Software Engineer with 3\+ years building scalable, high\-performance distributed systems\. As a Senior Software Engineer at FiftyFive Technologies, I design and ship production backend microservices in Java and Spring Boot, running at 99\.9% uptime\. What I do: • Architect microservices with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Apache Kafka for reliable, event\-driven communication • Build low\-latency, high\-throughput services using gRPC and REST APIs • Deploy and scale with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS • Optimize performance — cut API response times by 40% via Redis caching and PostgreSQL query tuning • Support cross\-platform API development for Android and iOS apps Core tech stack: Java \| Spring Boot \| Spring Cloud \| Microservices \| Apache Kafka \| gRPC \| REST APIs \| Redis \| PostgreSQL \| Docker \| Kubernetes \| AWS \| System Design \| Distributed Systems I hold a B\.Tech in Computer Science \(8\.6/10\) and am pursuing an MTech in Artificial Intelligence at BITS Pilani — pairing strong backend engineering fundamentals with applied AI/ML\. I also write about backend engineering, system design, and distributed systems here on LinkedIn \(sharding, consistent hashing, Spring Security, and more\)\.
