Hi, I’m Neel, a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience building and scaling Java-based backend systems in large, production-grade environments. I’ve worked extensively on distributed systems, microservices, system design, and production reliability, handling real-world challenges like high traffic, performance bottlenecks, production incidents, and observability. I currently work on a large-scale event-driven platform processing tens of millions of requests daily, with a strong focus on Java, Spring Boot, scalability, and monitoring using tools like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and Splunk. I enjoy helping individual engineers with: - System design thinking (especially for interviews & real-world systems). - Java backend concepts and concurrency. - Production readiness, performance, and debugging mindset. - Career guidance for mid-to-senior engineers. My approach is practical and experience-driven, I focus on how systems behave in the real world, not just textbook answers. If you’re looking for structured thinking, honest feedback, and clarity, I’d be happy to help.
