Backend Engineer | Agentic AI Workflows | 12 Yrs | Fintech | Startup | Java | Python | Kubernetes

About

I build backend systems that scale — and increasingly, AI systems that think. Over the last 12 years I have hands on experience in scalable API development and microservices starting from requirement analysis up to deployment, monitoring, most recently at Deserve and Intuit building Credit Card as a Service infrastructure that handles high-volume real-time transactions. My work has delivered measurable results: 35% API latency reduction, 70% query performance improvement, 45% database load reduction. In the last year I went deeper into AI — not as a user, but as a builder. I designed and shipped an end-to-end agentic workflow using Claude and Cursor that automates microservices development, from reading requirement specs to generating production-grade code, tests, and deployment manifests. It cut manual boilerplate by ~60% and changed how my team ships. I am now actively looking for AI Engineer, Agentic Systems, or Senior Backend roles where I can bring both sides of that experience together. What I work with: Python · Java · Django · Spring · Kafka · PostgreSQL · Redis · Kubernetes · AWS · Terraform · Docker · Claude API · Cursor · Agentic AI 📩 surwasevbit@gmail.com
