Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate

Verify (ID: C2BED8FD1B1373F)

I am a Backend Software Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (Bengaluru), passionate about building resilient, high-scale architecture and robust internal infrastructure.

With hands-on experience spanning the entire product lifecycle, I navigate projects from initial requirement gathering to post-deployment production support. I specialize in modernizing legacy frameworks, establishing event-driven Kafka pipelines, and automating CI/CD workflows. Beyond enterprise development, I build and maintain comprehensive self-hosted homelab infrastructure focusing on reverse proxies, advanced monitoring stacks, and stringent server security.
