About

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with experience building scalable backend systems, secure APIs, and production-ready applications using Golang, Node.js, and modern cloud-native tools. Currently working as an SDE Backend Engineer at Swiggy, focusing on backend development, system reliability, and scalable service architecture. I have hands-on experience designing and developing RESTful APIs, authentication systems, and database-driven applications using Golang, JavaScript, MongoDB, MySQL, and Express.js. During my internships, I built secure financial and expense-management modules with JWT & OAuth authentication, API integrations, and scalable backend workflows. My projects include StudyNotion (MERN-based EdTech platform), MealManager (Golang + Gin + MongoDB + Docker). I have experience containerizing applications using Docker, working with CI/CD workflows, Linux environments, Git, and backend debugging & optimization. I’m passionate about scalable backend engineering, clean architecture, and solving complex problems efficiently. I have solved 350+ DSA problems on LeetCode and have been a finalist in multiple hackathons, demonstrating strong problem-solving and rapid development skills under pressure. Open to Backend Software Engineer / Golang Developer / Platform Engineer opportunities. Skills: Golang · Node.js · JavaScript · REST APIs · MongoDB · MySQL · Express.js · Docker · Git · Linux · Jenkins · JWT · OAuth · Microservices · CI/CD · Data Structures & Algorithms · System Design
