Profile: https://flows.cv/bharathbk

I specialize in building scalable, high-performance distributed systems with 7 years of experience in backend engineering.

My focus is on designing resilient architectures that handle high traffic efficiently while maintaining system reliability and performance. I've built systems processing over 100 million requests daily with 99.99% uptime across hiring platforms, e-commerce, and marketing analytics domains.

Core Expertise:

Distributed systems design and microservices architecture
Event-driven architectures with asynchronous and synchronous communication patterns

Backend development with Java, Spring Boot, and cloud infrastructure

Real-time data pipelines and message-driven systems
Performance optimization and cost reduction

Technical skills: Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, Microservices, REST APIs, Event-driven architecture, Asynchronous messaging, CI/CD

Currently seeking senior engineering opportunities where I can contribute to building robust, scalable systems that solve complex technical challenges.
