About Vikas Jain

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and scaling backend systems that power high-volume applications across fintech, telecom, and SaaS platforms. My core expertise lies in building reliable, high-performance services using Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and AWS.Over the years, I’ve worked on systems that handle thousands of requests per second, built APIs used by enterprise clients, and optimised backend services to significantly improve system performance and reliability. I’ve contributed to platforms serving daily requests, improved search relevance by 40%, and reduced latency by 50% through system design and performance optimisation.My experience spans enterprise fintech platforms, telecom systems, and cloud-native applications, where I’ve designed REST APIs, integrated third-party services, implemented distributed tracing and monitoring, and built scalable infrastructure using AWS and containerised environments.Currently, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Publicis Sapient, contributing to backend services for Verizon’s enterprise platforms, focusing on reliable service delivery, production stability, and scalable backend architecture.I enjoy solving complex engineering problems involving system scalability, performance optimization, and backend architecture, and I take pride in delivering systems that are both robust and maintainable.Core SkillsJava • Spring Boot • Microservices • REST APIs • AWS • Kafka • Elasticsearch • Docker • Kubernetes • Redis • MySQL • System Design • Distributed Systems • High Throughput APIs • Event-Driven ArchitectureOpen to opportunities involving Backend Engineering, Distributed Systems, and Scalable Platform Development.
