Namaste World

I am Tej Narayan Singh.
Backend Engineer for high-scale systems.

Backend Software Engineer with 3 years building distributed systems at scale. Specialized in Java/Kafka microservices processing 80K+ QPS with sub-millisecond latency. Delivered features generating ₹27Cr+ revenue while reducing costs 40% through caching optimization.

What I Do

Backend engineering focused on reliability, scale, and data-driven platform behavior.

High-Scale Backend Systems

    Design and deploy distributed microservices handling 80K+ QPS with sub-millisecond latency. Built production systems serving millions of daily users on Flipkart's homepage, processing 4M+ banners daily with cache-aware validation for consistency.

Event-Driven Architecture & Real-Time Processing

    Build Kafka-based event streaming pipelines and Spark workflows for large-scale data processing. Specialized in asynchronous systems with fault-tolerance and exactly-once delivery semantics for mission-critical applications.

Performance Optimization & Caching

    Optimize system throughput using Redis, Aerospike, and multi-tier caching strategies. Reduced downstream call costs and improved performance by 40% through intelligent cache invalidation and consistency protocols.

Data-Driven Product Engineering

    Transform business requirements into scalable technical solutions with measurable impact. Delivered features generating ₹27 crore revenue in first week and improved CTR by 7.8% through automated, product-driven banner systems.

System Design & Architecture

    Lead end-to-end ownership from HLD/LLD to production rollout. Design backward-compatible data models, automated archival pipelines, and ranking mechanisms that reduced irrelevant data by 60%.

Mentorship & Technical Leadership

    Generated ₹27 crore in first-week revenue by designing automated banner system that replaced static flows with dynamic product logic, while mentoring 3 junior engineers through implementation.
