At Policybazaar, I contributed to building and scaling customer-facing insurance platforms serving 1.5 lakh+ agents and partners, with a strong focus on backend development, performance optimization, and secure systems design. Key Contributions & Impact: 1. Developed and maintained scalable backend APIs using .NET Core, supporting insurance workflows for 1.5L+ agents. 2. Developed a backend-driven Plan Comparison module that enables users to compare multiple insurance plans side by side based on premium, benefits, tenure, and features. 3. Integrated AWS Secrets Manager for secure runtime config management, eliminating hardcoded keys and improving security compliance by 75%. 4. Optimized Plan Listing APIs to handle large datasets efficiently, achieving 3× faster response times and improving performance on mobile. 5. Designed and implemented a real-time error tracking system with MongoDB-based logging, reducing downtime by 40% and debugging time by 30%. 6. Created dynamic voucher eligibility logic and backend tracking mechanisms, automating reward systems for partners and reducing manual errors. 7. Ensured clean, version-controlled deployments with Docker, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.

About

I build backend systems that handle millions of transactions daily. At Ixigo, I architected a config-driven transaction processing and refund system for Metro covering QR-based spend controls, payment orchestration, webhook retries. I also designed distributed ONDC callback coordination using Redis blocking queues and built a reconciliation pipeline for IRCTC–Ixigo financial reports that eliminated manual mismatch detection. Before that, at Policybazaar, I engineered the backend for an insurance agent platform serving 1.5L+ agents in .NET Core shipping a Plan Comparison API that improved selection speed by 33%, improving listing performance by 3×, and integrating real-time anomaly detection that cut downtime by 40%. I own systems end-to-end: API design, DB optimisation, async pipelines, cloud deployments, and observability.
