Software Development Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building and scaling backend services for a widely used enterprise software product. I specialize in designing high throughput, reliable systems, including architecting a caching layer (from high level to low level design) that improved API performance, and helping scale a core service to 3x its original throughput while supporting over a million requests in production. My work spans backend development (Java, Node.js, REST APIs), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes), and full stack development (React.js, TypeScript). I enjoy solving problems at the intersection of system design and real world scale, from root causing production issues to leading cross team technical initiatives. Outside of core engineering work, I've led legacy system modernization efforts, mentored teams through complex technical migrations, and contributed to early stage product ideation as part of an internal innovation incubator. I'm passionate about clean architecture, DSA, and building systems that just work reliably at scale.
