“Backend/platform engineer with hands-on ownership of Kubernetes GitOps delivery (GitHub Actions + Argo CD) on AWS EKS, including progressive rollouts and reliable rollback across interdependent microservices. Built a Python/FastAPI ML-driven document-processing service (PostgreSQL + S3) to complement existing Spring Boot systems, and implemented Kafka streaming pipelines with Schema Registry plus Prometheus/Grafana observability. Also supported a hybrid cloud-to-on-prem migration for compliance/latency with phased rollout and incremental PostgreSQL migration.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience owning a production e-commerce platform end-to-end (TypeScript/Node/Express, React, MongoDB, Redis) including RBAC and contract-based API development. Also worked at Infosys on a large healthcare management system built with Spring Boot microservices, using Kafka for messaging/retries, circuit breakers for resilience, and OpenTelemetry/Swagger for observability and API documentation.”
