Ankit K.

Backend Engineer | DevOps Engineer | Cloud Infrastructure Specialist | Microservices Expert I am a Backend Engineer with over 8 years of experience in building scalable, high-performance applications using Python, GoLang, and AWS services. My expertise lies in designing and developing robust microservices architectures, implementing efficient RESTful APIs, and optimizing cloud-based systems for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. I have successfully delivered projects across multiple domains, including algorithmic trading platforms and large-scale backend systems. For instance, I developed low-latency REST APIs for an algo-trading system, integrating real-time data processing with Apache Kafka to ensure quick decision-making and event-driven workflows. Additionally, I designed a high-performance trading strategy execution engine using GoLang, reducing latency by 30% and improving throughput for financial transactions. In another project, I built a cloud-native microservices architecture for a healthcare platform, leveraging AWS services such as Lambda, RDS, S3, and API Gateway. I also automated the backend workflows with Apache Airflow, enabling efficient task orchestration and reducing manual interventions. My use of containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes ensured seamless deployments, optimized resource utilization, and high availability. I am highly skilled in managing multi-account AWS environments and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform. My experience also includes setting up monitoring and alerting solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, providing actionable insights to maintain system health and performance. With a strong foundation in backend development, I thrive on solving complex challenges, designing scalable systems, and optimizing backend workflows for mission-critical applications. My passion for writing clean, efficient, and test-driven code ensures the delivery of high-quality solutions that meet both technical and business objectives.
