## About

Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems, scalable backend architecture, and cloud\-native infrastructure\. At Goldman Sachs, I design and build production\-grade backend systems that power secure financial workflows at scale\. My work spans multi\-threaded reconciliation engines, RESTful microservices using Spring Boot and Python, and secure adapters integrating legacy Sybase environments with AWS\-based distributed platforms\. I focus on system design fundamentals — data consistency, concurrency control, reliability, and performance under real\-world production constraints\. I’ve built systems that: Improved operational efficiency by 50%\+ Reduced manual reconciliation effort by 90% through automated ETL pipelines Cut cloud environment provisioning time by 85% using reusable Terraform modules and CI/CD automation Beyond backend service development, I work across the full stack of data and infrastructure — designing standardized data models, implementing cloud\-native deployments \(AWS ECS, Lambda, S3, VPC\), containerizing services with Docker, and building observability frameworks using Datadog, PagerDuty, and distributed tracing\. My core strengths include: Distributed Systems & Concurrency Microservices Architecture & REST API Design Data Engineering & ETL Pipelines Infrastructure as Code \(Terraform\) AWS Cloud & Containerized Deployments System Design, Scalability & Reliability With strong computer science fundamentals and a bias toward building from first principles, I enjoy solving complex backend problems — especially around consistency, integration, and production reliability\.
