About

Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems, microservices, and distributed data platforms. Currently a Software Engineer at Target India, building distributed services that power large-scale operational workflows. I work daily with Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Kubernetes — designing REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and production-grade microservices. Recently, I've been building AI agents at Target using Koog, JetBrains' Kotlin-native agent framework, to automate operational workflows — applying the same distributed-systems and backend engineering principles to agentic AI systems in production. Previously a Software Engineer at Lowe's India, where I built and scaled a high-throughput ETL platform supporting 12,000+ data pipelines, implemented Docker-based CI/CD and load balancing, and improved system observability using the ELK stack. Core areas of expertise: → Backend Engineering & API Development (Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot) → Distributed Systems & Microservices Architecture → Event-Driven Systems (Apache Kafka) → Cloud-Native Development & Container Orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) → Data Platforms & ETL Pipelines → Observability & Performance Optimization (ELK Stack) → AI Agents & Agentic Workflows (Koog, LLM integration) Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect. NIT Silchar, B.Tech Computer Science. Open to backend and distributed systems engineering roles where I can build reliable, high-scale software. Let's connect.
