I specialize in backend development with over 6 years of experience and a Master's in Computer Science. I've led projects through the entire software development lifecycle, demonstrating strong leadership and ownership. My expertise includes building scalable systems using Java, AWS services, Spring framework, Python, microservices, and event-driven architectures. I have experience in the online retail and travel domain, building inventory management engines, modeling payments and subscriptions, and setting up data ingestion pipelines with asynchronous workflow definitions with a focus on demystifying complex features. My background in Data Science and ML engineering has enabled me to develop innovative solutions, such as reinforcement learning-based gamification and time-series-based resource forecasting.
