About

Hi, I’m NIVETHA, a Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and scaling cloud-native distributed systems. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and event-driven architectures using Kafka, delivering robust, scalable backends that perform under heavy load.

I thrive in cross-functional, agile teams and own end-to-end delivery—from design to production. I mentor engineers, promote clean architecture, and focus on performance optimization, CI/CD, and building resilient backend platforms that delight customers.
