I’m a backend engineer with 12+ years of experience building and scaling Java-based systems in fintech and commerce domains. I currently work at Microsoft in Azure Data platform, and have previously worked at Intuit (QuickBooks), Visa, Oracle, primarily on distributed systems, microservices, and data-intensive platforms. My day-to-day work revolves around system design, service boundaries, performance, and long-term maintainability—not just shipping features. I’ve designed systems handling millions of requests, worked on risk and financial platforms, and led modernization efforts from monoliths to resilient microservices. On Topmate, I can help with: - Software Engineering career guidance - System design & architecture discussions - Interview preparation (Java, distributed systems, HLD) - Practical advice on working in fintech and large-scale systems I value clear thinking, correctness, and real-world tradeoffs over buzzwords. If you’re looking for honest, experience-backed guidance—not generic advice—you’ll find these sessions useful.
