I come from a small town in Uttar Pradesh and graduated from a tier-3 college with no strong network, no big-brand degree, and very limited exposure. My journey has been built from the ground up — through consistent self-learning, experimentation, and staying committed even when the odds weren’t great. Over the years, I’ve worked with some of the world’s top investment banking and financial institutions, solving large-scale engineering problems across microservices, distributed systems, risk analytics, cloud modernization, observability, and performance optimization. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, system design, Kafka, caching, databases, cloud, and large-scale backend architectures. Along the way, I’ve mentored many engineers informally — helping them upgrade their skills, transition to better companies, and get promotions. I am also actively learning and exploring AI, understanding how it impacts backend engineering, automation, productivity, and the future of software careers. My goal is to help engineers stay relevant and future-ready. Now I want to give back — especially to people who come from humble backgrounds like mine. If you’re from a small town, a tier-3 college, or feel stuck in your career, I understand your challenges because I’ve lived them. I can help you with: -Java & Spring Boot mastery -System Design with real-world examples -Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) for interviews -Interview preparation for product & fintech companies -Resume review and profile positioning -Career roadmap planning -Switching from service-based to product-based companies -Staying future-ready with AI-driven engineering skills Your background doesn’t limit your potential — lack of direction does. Let’s work together to build the career you want.
