My Story

I've spent the last 8 years designing and building backend systems — from small monoliths that needed to survive their first traffic spike, to distributed microservices architectures processing millions of events per day.

My core stack is Java and Spring Boot on AWS, but I've worked across the full spectrum: containerising applications with Docker and Kubernetes, setting up CI/CD pipelines, optimising database query performance, and more recently, deploying ML models to production using AWS SageMaker and Lambda.

This site started as a personal blog to document things I wished I had known earlier. It has grown into a resource hub for developers and founders across India who are building serious products on the cloud.

When I'm not writing or consulting, I'm usually tinkering with a new AWS service, contributing to open-source, or mentoring students through mock system design interviews.
