Key Achievements & Impact: • Modernized 40+ legacy services running on a Monolith by migrating from Java 8 to Java 21, building custom AI agents, leveraging Docker containerization to achieve environment-agnostic configurations, and streamlining deployment via Kubernetes. • Implemented an Event-Driven Architecture using Apache Kafka to decouple backend services, enabling asynchronous processing for high-volume data streams and significantly reducing downstream system latency. • Optimized backend resource utilization for a core platform supporting 10,000+ active users, migrating core compute workloads to AWS Lambda to leverage native auto-scaling, driving a 15% reduction in monthly cloud infrastructure costs through streamlined API calls and database index tuning. • Improved critical API response times from 20 seconds to 4–5 seconds, drastically enhancing overall user experience and meeting strict corporate Service Level Agreements (SLAs). • Contributed to feature development, test case generation, and system integration within an Agile framework, integrating AI-assisted productivity tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude) to boost feature delivery efficiency by 20%.

About

I’m a Backend & AI Java Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, resilient, and high-performance distributed systems. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges by designing backend platforms that are reliable, maintainable, and built to scale. Throughout my career, I've modernized legacy applications into cloud-native microservices, developed high-throughput APIs, optimized distributed systems, and engineered AI-powered developer platforms that improve engineering productivity. Recently, I built an internal AI-assisted migration platform that automated Java 8 to Java 21 migration analysis, helping standardize modernization across 40+ legacy services while significantly reducing manual effort. What drives my engineering approach: 🚀 Performance First – I enjoy analyzing bottlenecks, optimizing APIs and database interactions, and improving system latency to deliver exceptional user experiences. 🏗️ Scalable Architecture – I design loosely coupled, event-driven microservices that improve scalability, resilience, and maintainability while reducing operational complexity. ☁️ Cloud-Native Engineering – I leverage AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and CI/CD to build secure, highly available, and cost-efficient applications that scale with business needs. 🤖 AI-Powered Backend Development – I build AI-enabled backend applications and developer tools that automate engineering workflows, improve developer productivity, and accelerate software modernization by integrating LLMs and intelligent automation into enterprise systems. Core Skills • Java • Spring Boot • Microservices • REST APIs • SQL • React • C++ • AI Backend Development • LLM Integration • Distributed Systems • System Design (HLD & LLD) • AWS (Lambda) • Docker • Kubernetes • Apache Kafka • CI/CD • Data Structures & Algorithms • Performance Optimization I'm always interested in collaborating on challenging backend engineering problems, AI-powered applications, distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and scalable platform development. Feel free to connect if you'd like to discuss backend engineering, AI, system design, or new opportunities.
