Backend Software Engineer at ARRISE (powering Pragmatic Play), specializing in high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and Redis. Top-tier algorithmic problem solver—Codeforces Expert (Max 1655) and LeetCode 1880 (Top 5%, 800+ solved)—with an AWS Certified Solutions Architect credential. In production, resolved a critical 5+ year long-standing idempotency defect caused by race conditions and cache eviction during concurrent retries, and engineered complex multithreaded backend components to boost throughput by 50% across platforms serving 50k+ concurrent users. Passionate about real-time distributed platforms, cloud-native architectures, and leveraging agentic AI workflows. Open to high-impact Backend / Distributed Systems SDE roles.
Software Development Engineer - I
ARRISE
- Resolved a 5+ year long-standing idempotency defect by identifying a race condition caused by database lock contention and cache eviction, preventing duplicate game creation and multiple bet acceptance during concurrent API retries.
- Designed and optimized distributed backend services using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis and PostgreSQL, improving request throughput by 20% while reducing backend latency by 35%.
- Designed and secured RESTful APIs using JWT, OAuth, API versioning and encryption while building cloud-native services integrated with AWS EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway and CloudWatch.
- Built Docker images for backend services and contributed to CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab CI.

- Developed scalable event-driven microservices using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka and Redis while optimizing PostgreSQL queries over datasets exceeding 20K records.
- Implemented Russian Poker using Bit Manipulation and optimized Treasure Island using Dynamic Programming, reducing complexity from O(N3) to O(N).
Software Development Intern
ARRISE
- Developed backend services for the real-time Money Time platform using Java, Spring Boot and WebSockets supporting more than 50K concurrent users.
- Improved request handling capacity by 50% through multithreading while maintaining
AI-Powered Live Error Log Monitoring & Automated RCA Platform
Engineered a real-time, automated continuous log aggregation and monitoring platform ingesting over 50M+ distributed error logs daily, leveraging automated pre-computation pipelines to deliver sub-millisecond (<100ms) drill-down dashboards. Built an intelligent noise-suppression engine with persistent regex and logger filtering rules to cut alert fatigue by 45%, coupled with real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) for instant anomaly detection. Integrated an AI-driven automated RCA engine that analyzes stack traces with 90%+ classification accuracy to auto-generate Root Cause Analysis reports, assess bug severity, and enable one-click ticketing with suggested MR code fixes, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by 60%.
Distributed Real-Time Chat Platform
Built a distributed real-time chat platform using Java, Spring Boot, WebSockets, Kafka, and Redis, capable of supporting over 1,000 concurrent users. Implemented Redis Pub/Sub alongside Apache Kafka for scalable asynchronous messaging and event streaming, complemented by high-performance REST APIs with PostgreSQL persistence to reduce end-to-end messaging latency by 40%.
Cloud-Native Authentication & API Gateway
Developed a scalable authentication gateway using Java and Spring Boot to provide centralized authentication, dynamic request routing, and rate limiting. Implemented secure JWT-based authentication, OAuth authorization, and Redis caching backed by PostgreSQL persistence for reliable data storage. Containerized all services using Docker and engineered the system following cloud-native architectural patterns for high availability and seamless deployment.
