I’m a multidisciplinary backend software engineer with 8+ years of experience building and scaling medium to enterprise-grade systems. I enjoy designing reliable services across distributed architectures leveraging technologies like Go, Python, TypeScript, Kafka, Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch to turn complex workflows into dependable products. In my recent work, I’ve helped deliver cloud-native microservices with strong observability by implementing tracing, metrics, structured logging, and health checks. I also collaborate across teams and time zones (including India, Dubai, Ukraine, Canada, and the U.S.) to streamline large systems through MVP-focused agile cycles, from event-driven processing to secure authentication and production deployments on Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS/GCP.
