About

Backend engineer who ships.

I'm a grad student at Northeastern University finishing my MS in Software Engineering (3.9 GPA). Currently building production backend systems at Crewasis — writing Django APIs, optimizing PostgreSQL queries, provisioning AWS infrastructure, and shipping weekly. Previously built REST APIs in C#/ASP.NET Core at Tatvasoft. I focus on backend services, cloud infrastructure, and the CI/CD that ties them together.

Backend Services

Building REST APIs with Django, Spring Boot, FastAPI, and ASP.NET Core. Query optimization, connection pooling, and caching with Redis for low-latency responses.

Cloud & Infrastructure

AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, SNS), Terraform IaC, Docker containers, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Infrastructure that's reproducible and version-controlled.

Databases & Storage

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis. Schema design, indexing strategies, query plan analysis, and caching layers for production workloads.
