About

I am a software engineer currently working at Zomato, with experience starting from early 2024 and continuing to the present. My background includes a B.Tech in Information Technology from IIIT Allahabad, and I have been involved in software development and engineering roles since at least January 2024. My work spans backend and frontend development using Golang, AWS services, Redis, Kafka, and microservices architecture. I have built scalable APIs, integrated payment gateways like Razorpay, and developed high-performance search engines using AWS OpenSearch. I have also contributed to UI/UX improvements and automated internal systems to enhance operational efficiency and user experience.

What I'm looking for

Role: SDE-2 (Software Development Engineer II) — a mid-level software engineering position, typically requiring 3–6 years of experience. Work type: Remote or hybrid — open to both fully remote positions and hybrid setups (mix of home + office). Location flexibility: Based in India, but open to opportunities from companies anywhere in the world — including US, EU, or global startups — as long as the role allows working from India.
