About

Senior backend engineer

I make complex systems feel dependable.

From the first event to production support, I care about the parts of a system people rely on without having to think about them.

I'm Shashanka, a senior backend engineer building scalable order-management and event-driven systems. I work primarily with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, MongoDB, and AWS.

Over 5+ years, I've led end-to-end backend delivery, modernised legacy processing into real-time cloud services, and supported production-critical applications. I enjoy turning complex operational problems into reliable, well-observed systems.
