About Me

My journey from frontend development to backend specialization

I'm a Software Developer with 3+ years of experience, currently transitioning into backend specialization. My journey began in frontend development, but I've discovered my passion lies in designing and building scalable, robust backend systemsthat power seamless user experiences.

At AlgoAcharya (fintech startup), I contributed to algorithmic trading platforms, working across the stack, from crafting responsive dashboards to optimizing APIs and database queries for performance. This hands-on work gave me a solid understanding of how frontend and backend connect in real-world systems.

Recently, I've been expanding my skills into backend engineering with Node.js, Python (FastAPI/Django), and Docker, alongside deep dives into system design, databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB), and distributed systems. I'm also actively building algorithmic trading systems with Python, pandas, and risk management strategies, combining my tech skills with my passion for financial systems.

Currently Focusing On

• Building production-ready APIs with Node.js and Python

• Digging into system design and scalable backend architecture

• Working with PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB in real projects

• Creating algorithmic trading strategies using Python + pandas

• Learning microservices concepts and distributed systems

• Deploying containerized apps with Docker
