Software Engineer · Secure, scalable distributed systems in Java and Python
2026 Information Technology graduate from Pune Institute of Computer Technology (CGPA 8.94/10). I build backends that hold up under load — and the schemas, deployment pipelines and test suites around them. Two published research papers, and merged contributions to Elasticsearch and Apache Lucene.
Currently looking for a full-time software engineering role starting mid-2026.
An AI-powered personal finance platform with bank-account aggregation via Setu AA, plus budget, goal, investment and net-worth engines featuring real EMI & DTI computation and a water-fill savings-allocation algorithm. Architected and shipped end to end, solo.
| Architecture | Production-grade 4-service distributed system — React + Vite frontend, Spring Boot (Java 21) core API, a separate identity service, and a Python/FastAPI AI service over PostgreSQL with 14 Flyway migrations |
| Security | JWT auth with refresh-token rotation and theft detection, TOTP 2FA, Google OAuth, RBAC via a custom Spring Security permission evaluator, and AES-256-GCM field-level encryption of financial data |
| AI | Self-hosted LLM copilot on Ollama (qwen2.5 / phi3) driven by an OpenAI-style tool-calling loop — the model fetches user data through a secured internal API instead of being prompt-stuffed, with no paid API dependency |
| Performance | Eliminated N+1 query hotspots via Redis-backed distributed rate limiting, Caffeine caching, HikariCP tuning, paginated batch jobs replacing full-table scans, and parallel market-data fetching |
| Delivery | Docker + Kubernetes (HPA 2 → 10 replicas, zero-downtime rolling deploys), Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, 5 CI/CD workflows, ~180 automated tests (48 Testcontainers, 129 pytest) |

Merged contributions to large distributed-systems and search codebases:
| Project | Contribution |
|---|---|
| elastic/elasticsearch | Documented the http_schema field in AlibabaCloudSearchService configuration |
| apache/lucene | Improved JavaDocs for the org.apache.lucene.util package |
| TheAlgorithms/Java | Added RemoveStars and ComplexNumberMultiply string algorithms |
Beyond those, I've opened 30+ pull requests against Elasticsearch and Lucene — chasing flaky tests, resource leaks in the chunked fetch phase, ESQL planner bugs and memory exhaustion in lookup joins. Reading a codebase that large is its own skill, and it's where most of what I know about distributed systems actually came from.
