About

Backend and Platform Engineer with experience building scalable systems and secure cloud infrastructure in the fintech domain. I work across backend development and platform engineering, focusing on designing reliable services, automating deployments, and improving system scalability on Google Cloud Platform. I currently own CI/CD pipelines across the organization, responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining deployment workflows for multiple services. My work has involved standardizing pipelines, improving deployment reliability, and enabling faster, consistent releases across microservices. Over the past year, I’ve contributed to migrating legacy Python 2 monolithic systems to Python 3 microservices, modernizing business-critical financial systems, and improving system performance, security, and maintainability. I’ve also worked on infrastructure as code using Terraform, secure access management, and building reusable internal tooling to improve engineering efficiency. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering, with a strong focus on building reliable, scalable, and production-ready systems. Open to backend, platform, and DevOps engineering opportunities in product-driven environments.

Work experience

SDE at Groww, Aug 2025 - Present · 1 yr 1 mo, Working in the Fisdom team (a Groww company) Designed and implemented Privileged Access Management (PAM) for CI/CD pipelines, replacing persistent high-privileged service account credentials with time-bound access and eliminating standing access risks. Developed centralized CI/CD pipelines for 15+ microservices, reducing pipeline duplication by ~60% and improving deployment efficiency by 2x. Built reusable Terraform modules for GCP services (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, VPC), standardizing infrastructure provisioning and reducing manual configuration effort by ~70%. Automated code quality enforcement using Pylint in CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing technical debt and improving code reliability. Migrated a legacy Python 2 monolith (App Engine, NDB) to a Cloud Run-based microservices architecture, restructuring request flows via API Gateway and decoupling business logic into domain-specific services. Designed and developed backend services for an investment platform serving 100K+ users, handling SIP lifecycle, order processing, holdings, transactions, STP, and SWP workflows. Developed an internal API parity validation tool to compare responses between legacy and migrated systems, reducing manual QA effort and improving migration confidence. Integrated MoEngage to enable unified multi-channel notifications (Push, WhatsApp, Email), improving communication consistency across user touchpoints.

SDE Intern at Groww, Feb 2025 - Jul 2025 · 6 mos, Built CI/CD workflows to automate deployments on Google Cloud Run, ensuring consistent and reliable releases across multiple services. Implemented health-check pipelines to verify API and database readiness before deployments to all the environments. Developed a Bash automation script to enable centralized logging for all Google Cloud Storage buckets, creating a unified log bucket, configuring IAM policies, and ensuring consistent audit logging across the project Enhanced system observability by auditing GCP logging configurations and automating centralized logging setup using Python scripts, ensuring complete visibility across services. Optimized CI/CD execution by introducing parallel pipeline runs with fail-fast mechanism, reducing overall deployment cycle time Resolved large-scale data inconsistencies by processing 160K+ user records using shell scripts, improving data accuracy in KYC onboarding and verification systems. Designed and executed GCP-wide Container Registry → Artifact Registry migration, discovering and archiving images across 100+ projects into centralized GCS storage for compliance and future readiness Embedded security automation including dependency vulnerability scanning (pip-audit), git-secrets detection, and unit test pipelines across PR workflows.
