Based inMy Journey
I started with Java around 2010, initially exploring it out of curiosity. Over time, that curiosity evolved into building real backend systems.
What changed everything was working on production systems — where performance matters, failures happen, and theoretical knowledge is not enough.
Career Evolution
2010–2012 — GlobalLogic, Nagpur
Core Java development and business process automation. Built Jira workflow customisations — services, listeners, post-functions and validators — in Core Java with SOAP web services.2012–2013 — Cybage Software, Pune
Channel management platform for the hotel industry, syncing rates, availability and reservations across booking channels via Core Java and web services.2013–2024 — Tata Consultancy Services (Pune, Nagpur, Tokyo)
Technical Architect for Connected Cars regional servers — Spring Boot microservices on Azure handling vehicle-to-cloud telematics. Earlier, core framework development on a static analysis product for automotive embedded code (MISRA, ISO 26262). Three years customer-facing in Japan. Mentored and managed a 15+ engineer team.2024–Present — Fulcrum Digital, Senior Technical Lead
BFS settlement platform — Spring Batch and Spring Boot jobs that clear, reconcile, settle and bill real-time push payments, plus modernisation of the legacy stack.What I Work On
- Designing scalable backend systems
- Spring Boot & Microservices architecture
- Batch processing and large data workflows
- Performance optimization and debugging
- Cloud-native systems (AWS & Azure)
Why Code2Java
Most tutorials explain concepts. Very few explain how those concepts behave in real systems.
Code2Java focuses on bridging that gap — showing how backend systems actually work in production.
My Approach
- Understand fundamentals deeply
- Connect theory with real systems
- Focus on trade-offs, not just solutions
- Learn from failures, not just success
Who This Is For
- Developers beyond basic tutorials
- Backend engineers working on real systems
- Engineers preparing for system design challenges
- Anyone who wants to understand how things work under the hood
“Backend development becomes simple when you understand how systems behave in real-world scenarios.”
