Chakrafani Chadalavada

About

Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing). Has also debugged cross-layer incidents involving DB locks and network latency, and modifies Python/XML automation scripts to meet customer-specific requirements while improving logging and performance.

Key Strengths

• Production deployment troubleshooting using logs and config diffing across environments
• API performance optimization via SQL execution plan analysis, query rewrites, and indexing
• Multi-layer incident debugging across application, database locking, and network latency
• Improving stability post-deployment through monitoring of logs/metrics and ongoing error tracking
• Adapting and extending existing Python automation scripts with validations, logging, and performance improvements
• Translating customer/business needs into technical requirements with iterative feedback
• Full-stack performance optimization across frontend, APIs, and database
• Reduced system latency ~40% via profiling, caching, query tuning, and refactoring
• Scalable backend redesign using clean architecture and decoupled APIs
• Real-time data/analytics UI work with reusable React components
• Cloud-native scaling patterns (Azure Functions offloading, Kubernetes, event-driven messaging)
• Designs low-latency, reliable systems with clear trade-off reasoning (async workers, caching vs freshness, redundancy vs cost)
• Cross-team coordination on shared APIs (documentation, sprint reviews, early dependency testing)
• Translates non-engineer requirements into prototypes and implementable product direction
