Location: United States, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/kancherla

Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, low-latency backend systems for financial services and enterprise platforms.

I specialize in Java and C++ microservices, distributed systems, and data-intensive applications handling millions of records daily. My work focuses on high-throughput architectures using concurrency, asynchronous processing, and event-driven design (Kafka), exposed through production-grade APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL).

Currently, I work on mission-critical financial platforms supporting 150+ client portfolios and 700K+ daily transactions. I’ve improved p95 latency by 20%+ through profiling, JVM tuning, and system-level optimization, and built fault-tolerant services sustaining 1,000+ RPS under peak load.

Interests: Distributed Systems • Backend Engineering • Performance Optimization • Cloud-Native Systems • Real-Time Data Processing
