About Me

I am a Software Engineer based in India, with over 3 years of experience in building cloud-native applications, backend systems, and implementing DevOps practices. I specialize in AWS, Google Cloud, Terraform, CDK, Ruby on Rails, Go, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). I focus on designing scalable, secure infrastructure while reducing operational costs and improving system reliability. Currently, I work as a core developer at Premium Parking, a leading US-based parking app, where I also contribute to AI/ML integration and modern development workflows.

My Approach

I believe in automating everything possible

 and using Infrastructure as Code
My focus is on building resilient architectures

 that optimize performance and cost
All while maintaining security best practices

 at the core of every solution

  • Refactored monolithic architecture by decoupling core business logic into modular microservices using Hasura GraphQL and React.js, improving maintainability and enabling independent feature scaling.
  • Led end-to-end migration of Ruby on Rails applications and PostgreSQL databases from Heroku to AWS, leveraging over 15 AWS services—including CDK, CloudFormation, and Bash scripting—to ensure zero-downtime transitions and infrastructure reproducibility.
  • Optimized application startup processes, reducing boot time by 70% through dependency load restructuring and lazy initialization—accelerating deployment cycles and enhancing operational agility.
  • Resolved 90% of P1 incidents within 4 hours of escalation by applying structured incident response protocols and root cause analysis—minimizing business impact and ensuring SLA adherence.
  • Architected cross-account automated backup schedules for PostgreSQL databases with custom KMS encryption and versioning, ensuring disaster recovery compliance and safeguarding sensitive data.
  • Integrated ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for real-time log analysis and anomaly detection, reducing critical incidents by 70% and cutting incident response time via proactive alerting and trend monitoring.
  • Replaced resource-heavy Sidekiq jobs with AWS Lambda functions and rewrote legacy tasks in Python with optimized DB queries, reducing memory usage by 30% and increasing throughput under load.
  • Implemented dynamic auto-scaling policies and AWS Compute Optimizer recommendations to fine-tune EC2 instances, lowering cloud operational costs and boosting resource efficiency under variable workloads.
