SDE @Jupiter \| Ex \-Tekion Corp

## About

I am a software development engineer with 2\+ years of experience building large\-scale distributed systems and mission\-critical financial infrastructure\. My work spans 50\+ microservices across peer\-to\-peer lending, credit card repayments, and onboarding platforms — delivered with a consistent focus on reliability, measurable business impact, and engineering excellence\. At Jupiter Money, I have driven ₹18\.9 Cr in projected annual CM2 uplift through the end\-to\-end redesign of a user onboarding flow, productionised BBPS credit card repayments from the ground up enabling ₹30 Cr/month in transaction volume, and led infrastructure migrations that have delivered over $15K in annual cost savings\. Beyond individual contributions, I have championed an AI\-first engineering culture by building LLM\-powered PR review tooling using the Claude API — scaling code quality enforcement across 250\+ repositories without additional headcount\. I am proficient in Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, AWS, Kafka, Kubernetes, and Temporal, and bring hands\-on experience in system design, observability, and performance engineering\. Previously, I contributed to backend development at Tekion Corp, specializing in Java, Spring Boot, Elasticsearch, and more\.
