About

Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems, high-performance APIs, and backend platforms in Go and Java. Currently at Zepto, where I design and optimize core commerce systems powering product discovery, personalization, and customer experience at scale. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges around scalability, reliability, and performance. My work has included architecting systems processing millions of requests per minute, reducing API latencies by up to 75%, delivering significant infrastructure cost savings, and leading cross-functional initiatives that drive measurable business impact. My expertise includes distributed systems, microservices, system design, performance optimization, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, and observability. I’m passionate about building robust platforms, mentoring engineers, and turning complex problems into simple, scalable solutions. Always interested in discussions around backend engineering, distributed systems, and building products at scale.
