About Shubham Mahawar

I don’t just build backend systems - I build the kind that scale, adapt, and stay reliable under pressure.As a Senior Backend Engineer, I design architectures that handle real-world complexity with clarity, performance, and precision.My journey began with a fascination for how software behaves under load - how thousands of requests, database calls, and state transitions can be orchestrated seamlessly. That curiosity shaped my path toward distributed systems, asynchronous design, and clean architectural patterns that make backend software predictable and scalable.Over the years, I’ve engineered microservice-based architectures, designed high-performance APIs, and implemented workflow systems that automate business processes and reduce friction between data and delivery. I focus on building systems that not only work today but can evolve gracefully as requirements grow.I’m passionate about translating complex business logic into modular, testable, and maintainable code - systems that developers love working on and that businesses can trust. I enjoy mentoring engineers on architecture thinking, code quality, and design trade-offs that make systems truly sustainable.Core Strengths: Java · Spring Boot · GraphQL · Temporal · Microservices · System Design · API Architecture · Performance Optimization · Asynchronous Workflows · Distributed Systems · CI/CD · Automation · Data Flow Optimization · Problem Solving · Design Patterns Always learning. Always building what lasts.

Experience

1. Senior Java Developer System Architect & Designer

   Stackknack

   Jun 2024 — Present · NJ, US

   Focused on designing and implementing scalable, production-grade backend systems while guiding architectural direction and mentoring developers across multiple initiatives.Highlights:· Led system architecture design for distributed and fault-tolerant backend services supporting global commerce platforms· Introduced modular, asynchronous patterns that improved data flow consistency and simplified integration between services· Partnered with engineering and product teams to align scalability with maintainability, ensuring systems remain adaptable as technology evolves· Mentored developers to think in terms of resilience, clarity, and system design rather than frameworks and syntaxHere, my focus is on building architectures that don’t just perform - they endure
