- Optimized frontend-backend communication using React Hooks and Axios, reducing API response handling time by 25% across 8+ microservice endpoints.
- Engineered scalable backend architecture on AWS (DynamoDB, SQS, Lambda), optimized MySQL indexing and JDBC queries, reducing API latency by 40% and increasing throughput by 2x across distributed services.
- Containerized and deployed microservices using Docker, AWS ECS, and Azure AKS, building automated CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins that reduced deployment time by 60% and increased test coverage to 85% via JUnit/Mockito TDD.
Research & Development Engineer
Tejas Networks
C++, Linux, Routing Protocols, CLI, Git
- Implemented OSPF RFC 1765 (Database Limit) and RFC 4577 (Sham Links) in C++, reducing control-plane overhead by 30% and improving Layer 3 routing convergence time across 200+ network nodes.
- Developed high-performance C++ modules on Linux using multithreading and optimized data structures, profiling with GDB and Valgrind to eliminate memory leaks and reduce CPU utilization by 20%.
- Validated and debugged OSPF, BGP, and MPLS L3VPN routing across production environments using tcpdump, Wireshark, and CLI-based device operations, identifying and resolving 50+ protocol-level defects before release.
- Wrote 1,500+ lines of production C++ code adhering to strict coding standards, participating in peer code reviews and reducing post-release bugs by 35%.
Software Engineer
Infosoft Solutions
Java, JS, TS, SQL, Maven, Gradle, Agile
- Built Spring Boot REST APIs powering a country-wide insurance underwriting platform serving 500K+ customers, directly contributing to a 15% increase in policy conversion and revenue growth.
- Rebalanced Kafka consumer partitions and optimized message throughput, achieving 40% performance improvement across 12+ microservices processing 50K+ events/day.
- Configured Jenkins CI/CD pipelines and integrated SonarQube static analysis, improving code quality scores by 35% and reducing build times from 20 minutes to 15 minutes.
- Optimized MySQL queries and JDBC connection pooling, reducing average query execution time by 30% across 10+ production database tables handling 1M+ records.
- Collaborated with a cross-functional team of 6 engineers in Agile sprints, owning end-to-end delivery of 3 backend microservices from design through production deployment.
Technical Skills
Featured Projects
- Built multi-agent AI diagnostic system with specialized GPT-4o agents (Cardiologist, Psychologist, Pulmonologist) for comprehensive medical case analysis
- Developed intelligent synthesis module combining multi-specialty AI insights to generate unified diagnostic summaries and identify top 3 potential health issues per patient
- Designed and deployed a cloud-native image classification service on AWS, processing 100+ concurrent requests using SQS message queuing and auto-scaling EC2 instances running a pre-trained deep learning model.
- Built a Node.js web tier handling image uploads and async job tracking, with Python-based inference workers consuming from SQS and storing results in S3, achieving sub-3 second end-to-end processing time.
- Implemented auto-scaling policies using CloudWatch metrics, dynamically spinning up EC2 instances under load and scaling down to zero during idle, reducing compute costs by 60%.
- Designed and built a high-throughput URL shortening service handling 10K+ requests/minute using Spring Boot, with Redis caching reducing redirect latency to sub-5ms and MySQL for persistent storage.
- Implemented consistent hashing for distributed key generation across multiple service instances, ensuring zero collisions and horizontal scalability behind an Nginx load balancer.
- Containerized the full stack with Docker Compose (API server, Redis, MySQL, Nginx) and deployed with health checks, achieving 99.9% uptime under sustained load testing with JMeter.
