About Ankit Varshney

About MeI’m a backend engineer with 8+ years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native systems—mostly in Java and Spring Boot, but also hands-on with Golang when needed. Currently part of Oracle’s core product team, I design and scale backend microservices on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to protect real-time communication networks from cyber threats. I’ve driven major performance improvements—like cutting response latency by 90% and reducing API call time by 99%—through async design patterns, schema tuning, and Zookeeper-based configuration syncing. I thrive at the intersection of backend development, cloud-native architecture, and performance optimization. My toolkit includes:Java | Spring Boot | Go | Kubernetes | OCI | Redis | MySQL | Docker | Kafka | JPA | Hibernate | Swagger | Git | JUnit | Mockito‍ When I’m not coding, I’m exploring new automation hacks, building Slack bots, or mapping out my next road trip.Let’s connect if you want to talk backend engineering, cloud dev, or parenthood in the age of APIs!
