Experience
University of Missouri - Kansas City Graduate Teaching Assistant Jan 2024 - May 2024
• Designed serverless APIs using AWS Lambda and developed multi-tier applications on Kubernetes, enabling students to gain hands-on experience in scalable backend solutions and modern distributed systems.
• Developed assignments using Flink, Apache Kafka, and Kubernetes, teaching students advanced techniques like real-time data processing, container orchestration, and event-driven architectures.
• Guided students in setting up monitoring dashboards using CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and GCP Stackdriver, teaching them the importance of system observability and diagnostics in backend and cloud operations. Fidelity Investments Full Stack Developer Aug 2024 - Apr 2025
• Developed interactive user interfaces using Props & State, Stateful and Stateless Components, and Dynamic Rendering with JavaScript for enhanced performance.
• Integrated Kafka-based event-driven systems to manage asynchronous workflows, resulting in 50% faster transaction processing and improved fault tolerance.
• Architected microservices with dynamic service discovery, centralized configuration, fault tolerance via circuit breakers, and distributed tracing with Spring Cloud Sleuth.
• Scheduled Cron Jobs to ensure 100% master-slave database synchronization, restored lagging nodes within 15 minutes using the latest backups to maintain reliable data replication.
FlipKart Software Engineer Jan 2021 - Dec 2022
• Designed and implemented RESTful APIs for product catalog and cart management, resulting in 25% improvement in API response times and 20% reduction in customer drop-offs.
• Built and deployed 12+ microservices following domain-driven design (DDD) principles, helping reduce system downtime by 30% during peak sales (Big Billion Days).
• Enhanced application performance through profiling and tuning Java applications, leading to a 20% reduction in JVM memory consumption and 15% faster startup times.
• Implemented caching mechanisms with Redis and Memcached, reducing backend load by 40% and cutting page load times by 1.2 seconds during flash sales.
• Led production deployments and incident management, achieving 95% faster incident resolution using automated CI/CD pipelines
(Jenkins, Spinnaker) and proactive monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus). Technical Skills
• Languages: Java, C++, JavaScript, SQL (MySQL, Oracle), MongoDB, Python
• Technologies/ frameworks: Spring Boot, Hibernate, Selenium, Node.js, Express.js, AWS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Nginx, JWT, GraphQL, Redis, Microservices, Hadoop, Apache spark
• Developer Tools: Git, GitHub Actions, Maven, Docker, Ansible, SonarQube, Grafana, Jenkins, Postman Projects
Real-Time Data Pipeline for Stock Market Analytics
• Designed and implemented a real-time data ingestion pipeline using Apache Kafka, enabling continuous collection of live stock price data from public APIs with fault-tolerant delivery.
• Processed streaming data using Apache Spark Structured Streaming, applying transformations, aggregations, and schema enforcement before storing cleaned data in PostgreSQL for downstream analytics.
• Orchestrated daily and real-time workflows using Apache Airflow, containerized the entire pipeline using Docker, and built live monitoring dashboards in Grafana to visualize stock price trends and pipeline health. Certificates Validation through Blockchain
• Designed a Decentralized Application (DAApp) on the Ethereum blockchain to ensure that educational and employment certificates are validated with security, immutability, and transparency, reducing the potential for fraudulent certificates by 99% compared to traditional methods.
• Developed smart contracts in Solidity to automate the issuance, verification, and revocation of certificates, streamlining the process and reducing manual validation time, making it faster and more efficient.
• Implemented a Multi-Role Login System with three distinct user profiles i.e., Certificate Issuer, Verifier, and User, providing tailored access and ensuring secure, role-based interactions with the system. Education
