Full Stack Developer @ Piramal Finance | IIT Madras

About

Full Stack Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems, cloud-native microservices, and modern web applications. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems across the entire stack - from distributed systems and high-performance APIs to intuitive frontend experiences and AI-powered developer tools. At Piramal Finance, I've built Java Spring Boot services handling over 10 million monthly API requests, reduced P95 latency by 10× through API and database optimization, designed Kafka-based event-driven architectures processing 870K+ records with zero data loss, and implemented resilient distributed systems using Redis, caching, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and observability platforms. On the frontend, I've developed React and Next.js applications, internal dashboards, and CMS platforms that integrate seamlessly with backend services to improve developer productivity and user experience. I enjoy building clean, responsive interfaces backed by scalable APIs. I'm also passionate about applied AI and developer productivity. I've built RAG-powered LLM agents for code review automation, incident analysis, and release workflows, helping engineering teams reduce manual effort and accelerate software delivery. My technical interests include distributed systems, backend architecture, microservices, cloud infrastructure, frontend engineering, AI engineering, system design, JVM internals, concurrency, and performance optimisation. I enjoy designing reliable, scalable systems, mentoring through code reviews, and continuously learning new technologies. Core Technologies: Java, Go, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, React, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets, Apache Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, LLMs, AI Agents, FastAPI, JUnit, Mockito, and CI/CD. I'm always open to connecting with engineers, founders, and teams building scalable backend platforms, modern full-stack applications, distributed systems, and AI-driven developer experiences.
