About

Engineer who owns the backend

My Story

Growing up in Siwan, Bihar, I didn't have tech mentors nearby — just curiosity and an internet connection. I got hooked not on what software looked like, but on how it worked underneath.

After graduating with an 8.31 CGPA from MM University, I joined Vienna Advantage in Mohali and was shipping production code on their ERP's AD module within a month.

At Blu Parrot Ventures in Gurugram, I've led a legacy VB6 → .NET migration across 20+ financial modules for Bajaj Corporation, and now own backend architecture solo for a 100+ endpoint HCM platform serving a 7–9 person engineering team.

I'm not a generalist — I'm a backend specialist who knows exactly how the rest of the stack depends on what I build.

Modules In Production

Security-First

JWT + RBAC on every endpoint. Idempotency guarding financial transactions.

Legacy Migration

VB6 → .NET across 7–8 branches in ~1 year, zero critical incidents at handover.

Skills

Backend-heavy. Full-stack capable.

Projects

Systems built for enterprise scale

Production deployments and an actively evolving architecture project — not tutorials.

Project 01 Featured In Progress

MMSB — Modular Monolithic Social Backend

Personal Architecture Project · .NET 10

The Problem

Most backend portfolios stop at CRUD. I wanted to prove I can design a large system the way a senior engineer would — bounded contexts, clean architecture, and real-time infrastructure — before writing a single controller.

✓40+ module architecture documented using DDD bounded contexts and Clean Architecture
✓CQRS-pattern request handling with EF Core for persistence
✓Redis caching + SignalR for real-time features (feeds, notifications, presence)
✓Azure Blob Storage for media, containerized with Docker for consistent deploys

✦ .NET 10 ✦ DDD / CQRS ✦ Redis ✦ SignalR ✦ Docker

Architecture-first: designed to scale before a line of business logic is written

Repository In active development

Project 02 Ongoing

Microservices Backend — Social Platform

Personal Project · Full Stack

The Problem

Wanted hands-on ownership of a microservices topology beyond a monolith — routing, auth, and reliability as separate concerns.

✓Ocelot API Gateway for request routing across services
✓JWT + RBAC for authentication and authorization
✓Dockerized services with xUnit integration tests

✦ Ocelot Gateway ✦ Docker ✦ xUnit

Service isolation without sacrificing reliability

Repository

Project 03 Live

FFI HCM Platform Backend

Production · HR & Payroll

The Problem

An HR and payroll platform needed a backend that could not fail — no room for auth gaps or double-processed transactions.

✓100+ endpoints, owned solo across the full API surface
✓JWT + RBAC + idempotency on every financial endpoint

✦ .NET Web API ✦ SQL Server

Sole backend SPOC — architecture owned end to end
