About

Backend engineer with module ownership and production focus.

I care about clean backend design, reliable systems, and engineering decisions that survive real production traffic.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer and Module Lead with 9+ years of experience building backend platforms across media, gaming, ecommerce, and collaboration products.

My work focuses on scalable APIs, event-driven services, real-time systems, database design, audit logging, queue-based processing, and production performance optimization.

Along with engineering, I am building a developer content brand where I will share practical backend engineering, system design, interview preparation, and AI tooling lessons for developers.
