Software Engineer · Rezolut Infotech

Client: Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance · Mumbai, India

Mar 2026 — Present · Building event-driven backend services for configurable partner onboarding and lead processing on an enterprise insurance platform handling 50M+ lead records. Core stack: Node.js, NestJS, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, MySQL, Sequelize, React 19, and TypeScript.

  • Developed configurable partner onboarding and lead-processing services using Node.js, AWS Lambda, SQS, MySQL, and Sequelize.
  • Strengthened lead-processing reliability by 30% through resilient asynchronous messaging with Amazon SQS, retries, message replay, and dead-letter queues (DLQs).
  • Refactored OpenTelemetry integration across 4 AWS Lambda functions to reuse a shared Lambda layer, reducing deployment ZIP sizes by 77–83% and instrumentation initialization from approximately 750 ms to 80 ms; retained trace-correlated Winston logs in SigNoz.
  • Revamped four Elixir admin modules using React 19 and TypeScript, delivering reusable components, custom hooks, pagination, filters, and operational tooling.
  • Automated partner reconciliation with a NestJS service and scheduled IST execution, comparing forward and reverse feeds across 13 partner application IDs and 21 node groups; distributed reports through Amazon SNS.
  • Delivered production fixes for HDFC partner workflows and built a secured batch-reprocessing endpoint supporting up to 2,000 leads with dry-run validation.

A little about me

Engineer by practice. Curious by nature.

I’m a software engineer based in Mumbai, India, with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from Engineering College Bikaner, affiliated with Bikaner Technical University.

My strongest interest is backend engineering: designing APIs and integrations, making asynchronous workflows dependable, debugging production systems, and improving how services are observed and operated. I also enjoy building React interfaces when a problem calls for full-stack ownership.

Outside of day-to-day product work, I explore open source, build side projects, and write about technology and learning. I’m interested in teams that value sound engineering, thoughtful collaboration, and measurable product outcomes.
