I currently work at HT Digital (Hindustan Times), where I have contributed to lead generation and influencer platform services using Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and AWS. My work has focused on designing reliable architectures that can handle high traffic, improve performance, and reduce duplication or failure in critical workflows. I have built REST APIs, implemented caching and optimization strategies, and worked on fault-tolerant processing with retry, failover, idempotency, and monitoring. I enjoy solving backend engineering problems that require both system design thinking and hands-on implementation. In my recent projects, I have worked on secure access control, asynchronous event-driven processing, distributed jobs, and integrations with external services. I am comfortable working across the full backend stack, from API development to database tuning and infrastructure support. I have used tools and services such as Docker, OpenFeign, Resilience4j, ShedLock, S3, Secrets Manager, Postman, IntelliJ, Jira, Git, and Bitbucket in my work. I also value building systems that are maintainable and observable in production. I have contributed to logging, monitoring, and debugging improvements, and I pay attention to reliability, scalability, and clean architecture. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. I am open to opportunities where I can continue growing as a backend or software engineer and contribute to impactful, high-scale products.
