Hey, I'm Kishor — a Java Backend Developer based in Bangalore with 2+ years of real-world experience building microservices and backend systems that actually ship. I've worked across healthcare and insurance domains — built RESTful APIs, event-driven systems with Kafka, Redis caching layers, and optimized SQL that cut latency by ~20%. I've shipped features that handle thousands of live microsites and helped reduce production bugs by ~30%. Not side projects — actual production code. But here's what I really want to do on Topmate: When I was starting out, I had no one to tell me what actually matters in backend dev interviews — what to study, how to position myself, and what seniors actually look for in code. I'm here to be that person for you. I work with: · Final-year students who want a strong backend foundation before placements · Juniors (0–1 yr) figuring out how to grow faster on the job · Career switchers who want to break into backend development · Mid-level devs ready to go deeper into system design, Kafka, and microservices No fluff. No lecture-style advice. Just practical, experience-backed conversations.
