Architecture & Platform Engineering
Technical Lead — Architecture & Platform Engineering
I help enterprises design and implement scalable, secure, and observable systems — specializing in
microservices, cloud-native platforms, event-driven integration, API-first design, and AI-enabled automation.
My background in high-throughput e-commerce and BFSI systems helps me balance business requirements with technical constraints.

About
I am a Technical Lead with 11+ years of hands-on experience building and evolving backend platforms for Banking, Fintech, and E-commerce.
I focus on solutioning for long-term maintainability: shaping service boundaries, defining API contracts, and enabling platform teams to build reliably at scale.
I partner with product and engineering to convert business goals into technical roadmaps — emphasizing observability, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.

Architecture Focus
How I approach designing systems that scale and endure.
- Define clear service boundaries using Domain-Driven Design to reduce cognitive load and increase maintainability.
- Adopt event-driven patterns for loose coupling and resilient integrations (Kafka-based messaging).
- Design API contracts with versioning, throttling, and gateway-level policies for stability and security.
- Design for observability: metrics, traces, and structured logs to speed up incident resolution.
- Plan for non-functional requirements: performance, availability, recoverability, and security-by-design.
- Mentor engineering teams to implement architecture standards and platform best practices.
