About

Results-driven Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer (SDE-II) with 2.9+ years building high-performance core banking systems at SBS Software (formerly Sopra Banking Software). Specialized in: Java 17 · Spring Boot · Microservices · Kafka · Redis · Docker · REST/gRPC · PostgreSQL · Spring Batch 🔧 What I've built: Led the decomposition of a Java 8 monolith into Java 17 microservices (REST/gRPC), improving system maintainability by ~35%. Migrated 5 critical batch workflows from Spring Batch 3 (XML) to Spring Batch 5 (Java Config/JPA), ensuring Java 17 compatibility. Designed Kafka-based event-driven architecture with consumer groups, retries, and idempotency for decoupled, scalable processing. Reduced median latency by ~30% through Redis caching and SQL query optimization. Maintained 100% JUnit + Mockito coverage across all backend components. 💡 Currently exploring: Distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and AI integration in fintech. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certified (OCI 2025 — AI Foundations). Always curious about high-availability system design and event-driven patterns. 🏆 Recognition: Recipient of the SBS Kalam Award for 20%+ batch migration efficiency and the Spot Award at SBS Software. Ranked #442 in TCS CodeVita Round 2 (out of 100K+ participants). 600+ LeetCode problems solved (Top 22%). 🤝 Open to: SDE-II / Senior Backend Engineer roles in product-based companies where I can architect complex, scalable backend systems in fintech or distributed systems domains. 📩 Reach me: shivangsrivastava222@gmail.com | Let's connect if you're building in fintech, core banking, or backend-heavy distributed systems!
