Profile

About

A concise summary for recruiters and hiring managers—focused on systems, scale, and outcomes.

Software engineer with production backend depth and a solo Web3 builder track record. By day: Java/Spring Boot/Kafka/Kubernetes services running for 50K+ learners at Vedantu — 40% API latency improvement, 60% faster document delivery, 80% reduction in manual ops. After hours: solo Solana builds with Rust, Anchor, and the Umbra SDK, plus hackathon submissions across Solana privacy, Civic Auth identity, and AI co-pilots for crypto investors. I cross from latency-dashboard production engineering into shipping verifiable on-chain products end-to-end.

Focus areas

What I Build

Core problem spaces I own end-to-end—from design tradeoffs to production metrics.

Scalable Backend Systems

Microservices, caching, and data stores tuned for throughput and reliability—built for real traffic, not demos.

Automation Pipelines

Event-driven workflows that remove toil: scheduling, integrations, and operational guardrails recruiters can trace to outcomes.

Search & Performance Optimization

Elasticsearch-backed discovery, query tuning, and latency work—measurable wins on latency and engagement.
