I enjoy tackling backend challenges from API design to asynchronous workflows and real-time features.

About

I am a backend-focused engineer based in Bengaluru with 3 years of experience building production-grade systems. I’ve contributed to multiple SaaS and enterprise platforms where reliability, data integrity, and performance matter.

My strengths include designing clean RESTful APIs, optimizing database workflows, and implementing cloud services using AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS, EC2). I write backend modules that are observable, maintainable, and built for scale. I use Redis for caching and queues, and integrate real-time features using Firebase or WebSockets when business needs require event-driven communication.

Across domains like waste management, healthcare, and ed-tech, I enjoy improving systems that make life easier for users while keeping engineering quality high.
