Own backend design and development of internal platform services supporting build, test, and release workflows across multiple production systems. Worked extensively on Spring Boot services, REST APIs, Kafka-based event pipelines, CI/CD automation, and distributed backend infrastructure. Led modernization initiatives by redesigning and migrating legacy Perl-based APIs to Spring Boot web services, improving maintainability, observability, testing workflows, and long-term scalability across internal backend systems. Designed reusable event-driven integrations and internal automation platforms to coordinate artifact promotion, validation, and workflow orchestration across source-control and release-management systems. Improved engineering productivity and system reliability through JUnit 5/Mockito-based testing modernization, GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows, centralized configuration management, and infrastructure automation using Ansible. Built reusable AI-assisted engineering workflows using Claude Code, including custom skills and task-specific agents for backend development, debugging, migration, and developer productivity tasks.

About

I'm a Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable backend systems using Python, Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, TypeScript, and Node.js. At MathWorks, I design and develop backend platforms, REST APIs, and event-driven systems that improve developer productivity, reliability, and scalability. My work includes modernizing legacy services with Spring Boot, building distributed systems with Apache Kafka, and developing automation for large-scale engineering workflows. I enjoy solving distributed systems challenges, building reliable backend services, and taking ownership of features from design through production. My interests include backend engineering, microservices, distributed systems, API design, and system design. I'm always interested in connecting with engineers, learning from others, and exploring opportunities to build high-impact software.
