I build backend systems that serve millions of users - and lately, I've been building the AI systems that help run them. I'm currently working as Software Engineer 3 at UKG with 4.5+ years in high-scale backend engineering: distributed microservices, reactive Spring WebFlux services, event-driven Kafka pipelines — and lately, LLM-powered agents running in production infrastructure. Along the way, I've designed and scaled backend services, solved real performance and reliability problems, and mentored engineers on my team. How I can help you: • 1:1 mentoring & interview prep — Java, backend, SDE-1/2 • Structured backend notes & learning resources — Java, Spring Boot, WebFlux, Microservices, DSA, System Design • Selective freelancing & backend consulting for startups and teams Why me: • Strong Java fundamentals — JVM internals, multithreading, concurrency • Production experience with Spring Boot, WebFlux, Kafka, and async systems — not toy projects • System design (HLD & LLD) taught from real production incidents, not textbook diagrams • Working hands-on with applied AI — LLM agents, RAG, vector search — so I can also tell you where backend engineering is heading • Clean code, TDD, and architecture thinking you can actually apply at work If you’re looking for: -> Interview-ready backend preparation -> Clear, structured backend notes -> Experienced backend help for real projects 👉 Book a 1:1 session or explore my notes & services below.
