Hi, I'm Shailendra Kumar Sunkewar, a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable web applications and backend systems using Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) and React. I deliver AI-powered features by integrating OpenAI APIs for NLP tasks like summarization, semantic search, and conversational agents in production-grade apps. I have hands-on cloud and DevOps experience (AWS, Lambda, RDS, EKS; GitHub Actions, Docker, Tekton), secure design (OAuth2, JWT, RBAC, PCI DSS, GDPR), and a focus on observability (CloudWatch, Prometheus). I enjoy collaborating with product, ML, and SRE teams, mentoring junior developers, and promoting clean architecture and Agile practices to ship high-quality features on time.

Work Experience

Software Engineer at Stripe
March 1, 2024 - Present
At Stripe, I designed and shipped full-stack AI-powered web applications using Python frameworks FastAPI and Django for backend services, integrated with React.js and Tailwind CSS for modern UI experiences. I improved API response times by 35% through asynchronous FastAPI and Redis caching. Leveraged microservices and internal tools with Django admin features. Integrated OpenAI APIs for advanced NLP capabilities across internal platforms. Deployed scalable serverless APIs via AWS Lambda and RDS, and engineered background tasks with Celery and Redis. Enforced secure authentication using OAuth2 and JWT, implemented role-based access controls, and ensured compliance with PCI DSS and GDPR. Automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Kubernetes for zero-downtime deployments. Collaborated cross-functionally with product, ML, and SRE teams, and monitored system reliability with CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Prometheus.
Full Stack Developer at Intel
July 1, 2023 - August 4, 2025
Designed and developed an internal cloud-based project and performance tracking platform improving transparency and reducing reporting efforts by 60%. Developed cloud-native CI/CD pipelines with Tekton, GitHub Actions, and Terraform for hybrid cloud deployment. Built interactive dashboards using React.js integrated with Flask REST APIs for real-time hardware validation insights. Developed scalable microservices with clean architecture in Python Flask, and implemented robust data storage solutions using PostgreSQL and MySQL. Automated updates and notifications through internal APIs and third-party services. Followed Agile practices and containerized applications using Docker on Kubernetes clusters for high availability. Maintained CI/CD workflows with Jenkins and GitHub Actions focusing on automated testing. Authored technical documentation and mentored junior developers to foster scalable development culture.
