I am a Backend Engineer working at Microsoft on Azure Cloud Infrastructure, focused on distributed systems and large-scale backend engineering. Over the past 6+ years, I have worked across Microsoft, ServiceNow, State Bank of India, and Cisco Systems, building and operating production systems that handle scale, reliability, and performance challenges. At Microsoft, I work on Azure Specialized Cloud, contributing to systems that power GPU infrastructure and modern AI workloads. This involves designing scalable backend services, understanding system trade-offs, and solving real-world distributed systems problems. At ServiceNow, I worked on backend platform systems serving millions of users, focusing on clean system design, performance, and reliability. Earlier at Cisco, I worked on network automation and observability, building tools to process and debug large-scale infrastructure systems. Through my journey, I have gone through multiple interview processes with top product companies and understand what it takes to break into strong backend and distributed systems roles. I can help with: * Backend / Distributed Systems interview preparation * System design (real-world, not textbook) * Resume and profile reviews * Career guidance for product-based companies If you're aiming for roles in companies like Microsoft, ServiceNow, Amazon, or similar product companies, I can help you build the right foundation and approach. Happy to guide serious learners who want to grow in backend engineering and distributed systems.
