Engineer first. Backend by craft.

A glimpse of how I think, what I build, and the kind of problems I gravitate toward.

I build backend systems that move serious data without breaking. For the last year I've been shipping multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure at 73Strings — distributed workflows, gRPC services, and bulk ingestion pipelines that need to be correct on the first try.

My favorite kind of engineering is the boring kind: tight contracts, predictable failure modes, observable systems, and the discipline to choose the simpler design. I care about API ergonomics, data integrity, and writing code my future on-call self will thank me for.

Outside of work I write Java and Node, grind problems on LeetCode (1521) and CodeChef (1488), and explore how LLM tooling fits into real backend workflows.

Where I've shipped.

Production work across multi-tenant SaaS, distributed systems, and internal platforms.

  1. Software Engineer (Contract)

    73Strings·Bengaluru, India·Onsite

    Mar 2025 — Present
    • Built and deployed a multi-tenant Entity Management Service with org-based tenant routing, serving multiple organizations with row-level data isolation in Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and JPA.
    • Designed saga-based distributed workflows to ensure transactional consistency across microservices, cutting data inconsistency errors by 95% via compensating transactions.
    • Developed a bulk data ingestion pipeline processing 50K+ Excel records daily with field-level validation, batch processing, and rollback — improving data quality by 40%.
    • Implemented gRPC inter-service communication for high-frequency internal APIs, reducing average latency from 180ms to 70ms (60% improvement) over REST.
    • Integrated EMS with UAM and TMS via JWT authentication and RBAC, securing access for 500+ users.
    • Enforced OWASP secure-coding practices: input validation, parameterized queries, and secure session management across all service endpoints.

  2. Backend Engineer Intern

    PowerMech Ltd.·Hyderabad, India·Hybrid

    Apr 2024 — Aug 2024
    • Developed RESTful APIs in Node.js and Express for internal asset management, handling 1000+ daily requests at 99.5% uptime.
    • Designed MongoDB aggregation pipelines that reduced query time by 30% through indexing and pipeline optimization.
    • Implemented JWT authentication and role-based access control across protected endpoints.

Things I've designed and built.

Backend systems where the architecture is the point — not the UI. Each card highlights the engineering decisions, not just the stack.

TwinTraffic

Dec 2025

Shipping risky API changes is hard without prod traffic. TwinTraffic mirrors real requests to a candidate service, compares responses, and surfaces regressions — without impacting users.

Architecture
  • Async request duplication with fail-safe isolation so the shadow path can never affect the primary response.
  • JSON diffing engine plus latency comparison to detect functional and performance regressions per endpoint.
  • Mock services and replay APIs for production-like testing scenarios in lower environments.

ResuMinds

Platinum
Feb 2026

Static mock interviews don't adapt. ResuMinds parses your resume, builds context-aware questions, and scores both technical depth and communication in a real conversational loop.

Architecture
  • Resume parsing and context-aware question generation using LLMs (Groq, Llama 3.3) with structured prompt templates.
  • Real-time voice interaction via the Web Speech API for end-to-end interview simulations.
  • Multi-dimensional scoring system evaluating technical depth and communication, plus a provider abstraction to swap LLM backends.

CLI Wizard

Apr 2024

Most CLI projects start by reinventing argument parsing, config, and logging. CLI Wizard ships a structured base so developers can focus on the actual command logic.

Architecture
  • Configuration management with sensible defaults and overrides.
  • Argument parsing layer with typed commands and clear error reporting.
  • Structured logging primitives and reusable templates for fast scaffolding.
