Backend & Platform Engineer · Bangalore, India
4+ years building distributed backend services, cloud-native microservices, and Kubernetes orchestration infrastructure. Currently at Nokia, owning backend engineering for a multi-cluster cloud operations platform spanning 12+ production Kubernetes clusters.
Career
NCOM is Nokia's cloud operations platform responsible for the full lifecycle of distributed workloads across a multi-cloud Kubernetes estate — covering provisioning, configuration, scaling, and teardown across AWS and Nokia Container Services (NCS).
Backend engineering ownership of Nokia Cloud Operations Manager (NCOM) — a production platform managing Kubernetes cluster lifecycle across multi-cloud environments. Built and maintained microservices that handle provisioning, teardown, and orchestration workflows at scale across 12+ clusters on AWS and Nokia's own container infrastructure.
Implemented Go and Java REST APIs for cloud lifecycle management, applying clean service boundaries and collaborative API contract design across teams. Designed GitLab CI/CD pipelines with Docker that converted multi-hour manual release processes into consistent, automated flows — reducing manual deployment effort by roughly 50%.
Delivered a React-based internal developer portal used daily by the NCOM engineering team, replacing a fragmented set of CLI tools. Created onboarding documentation that measurably reduced ramp-up time for new engineers joining the platform team.
Backend engineering on an early-stage health-tech product — building and maintaining Spring Boot REST APIs for device management, user authentication, and core backend workflows. Deployed and operated services on AWS EC2 with DynamoDB for real-time device data ingestion and retrieval.
Improved API latency through query rewriting and server-side caching. Gained hands-on experience designing production backend systems under resource constraints typical of an early-stage startup.

Background
I'm a Backend and Platform Engineer with 4+ years of experience shipping production software at Nokia and Oculosense. My work sits at the intersection of backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling — the kind of engineering where reliability and operational clarity matter as much as features.
At Nokia, I've spent the last three years working on NCOM (Nokia Cloud Operations Manager) — a multi-cluster Kubernetes orchestration platform that manages cloud workload lifecycle across AWS and Nokia's proprietary container infrastructure. Day to day, that means owning backend microservices in Java and Go, designing REST APIs for complex orchestration flows, and building the CI/CD automation that keeps deployments consistent and reproducible.
I'm comfortable working across the stack — from designing API contracts and service boundaries in the backend, to building the React dashboards that give operations teams visibility into what's running. But backend and platform are where I think most clearly: how services communicate, how workflows fail gracefully, and how infrastructure stays manageable at scale.
Outside of my day job, I build projects that explore the same engineering problems I care about at work — fault-tolerant microservice communication, cloud resource lifecycle APIs, and DevOps tooling. Hackathon wins at VIT's IDEAthon and Top 15 placement at TetraFlip were early signals of enjoying building under constraints.
