Senior Technical Lead

I build systems that actually work.

No fluff. Just solid code that solves real problems.

Hey, I'm Gautam. I've been coding for 7+ years now, and I've learned that the best solutions aren't always the most complex ones. I help companies build systems that actually work in the real world – you know, the kind that don't break when you need them most.

About Me

So here's my story: I started coding because I was curious about how things work behind the scenes. What began as tinkering with simple programs has turned into a career where I get to solve real problems for real companies. I love that moment when everything clicks and the code just works.

Over the years, I've learned that good code isn't just about following patterns – it's about understanding what the business actually needs. I've had my fair share of late nights debugging production issues and celebrating when we finally got that performance bottleneck sorted. The best part? Working with teams who are as passionate about quality as I am.

I mostly work with Java, Spring Boot, cloud technologies, and ML/AI, but I'm always learning something new. What I've found is that the best solutions are usually the simplest ones that actually solve the problem. I'm not a fan of over-engineering, so I always ask: "Do we really need this complexity?"

Got a tricky technical problem? I'd love to hear about it. Sometimes the best solutions come from just talking through the challenge together.

Business Impact

Delivering Measurable Business Value

Improved Payment Processing System

$5M+ Monthly Processing
30% Fraud Reduction

This fintech startup was losing customers because their payment system kept failing. I remember the CEO telling me they were losing $50K a day in failed transactions. We rebuilt everything from scratch – new architecture, better error handling, the works. Now they're processing $5M+ monthly with 99% success rate. The fraud detection I built also cut down on fake transactions by 30%.

Optimized Inventory Management

$500K+ Annual Savings
25% Stockout Reduction

This retail chain was drowning in inventory problems – too much of some products, not enough of others. I spent months building an AI system that actually learns from their sales patterns. The tricky part was getting the predictions right, but once we did, it was like magic. They're saving $500K+ a year now and rarely run out of popular items.

Scaled E-commerce Platform

10K+ Concurrent Users
20% Conversion Boost

Remember when this e-commerce site crashed during Black Friday? Yeah, that was a nightmare. I had to redesign the entire platform to handle the traffic spikes. The old system couldn't handle more than 2K users, but now it smoothly handles 10K+ concurrent users. The best part? Conversion rates went up 20% because the site actually worked when people wanted to buy stuff.

Enhanced Learning Platform

50K+ Active Learners
30% Engagement Improvement

This education company wanted to scale their platform but keep the personal touch. I built a system that now serves 50K+ students with personalized learning paths and progress tracking. The cool part? Students are 30% more engaged because the system actually adapts to how they learn. Teachers love it because they can see exactly where students are struggling.

Fintech Cashflow Management

Built a comprehensive cashflow management platform that syncs millions of records from third-party accounting systems in real-time. The system handles complex analytics, automated payment collections, and intelligent communication through SMS, WhatsApp, and email. Integrated an AI chatbot that helps users understand their financial data and get instant answers. The real challenge was making sure everything stayed in sync across different accounting platforms – one wrong calculation could mean thousands in lost revenue. Now processing 10M+ transactions monthly with 99.9% accuracy.

Smart Inventory Management

This manufacturing company was losing money on inventory – either too much stock or not enough. I had to learn machine learning from scratch for this one. Spent months tweaking the algorithms to get the predictions right. Built it with Java Spring Boot, Python for the ML models, and MongoDB for all the data. The first few predictions were way off, but eventually got it working. They're saving $500K+ a year now.

Enterprise Admin Dashboard

This logistics company was drowning in paperwork and manual processes. I built them a dashboard that actually makes sense – order tracking, inventory management, customer support, all in one place. Used Java Spring Boot, Angular, and MySQL. The team was skeptical at first, but now they can't imagine working without it. Cut their manual work by 70% and made everything 60% more efficient.

AI-Powered eCommerce Store

This online retailer was struggling with low sales and high bounce rates. I integrated AI recommendations that actually work – not just random suggestions, but ones based on what customers actually want. Built with Java Spring Boot, React, and OpenAI API. The search with Elasticsearch was tricky to get right, but now it handles 10K+ users smoothly. Conversion rates went up 20% because people can actually find what they're looking for.

Enterprise Retail Platform
5K+ Daily Orders
4 Team Size
40% Performance Gain

High-Speed Retail Platform

This retail chain was losing customers because their checkout was painfully slow. I rebuilt their entire platform to handle the traffic spikes during peak hours. Used Java Spring Boot, React, Apache Kafka for real-time updates, and PostgreSQL. The real-time inventory tracking was the hardest part – had to make sure it updated instantly across all stores. Now it processes 5K+ orders daily with sub-second response times. Checkout is 40% faster and the system rarely goes down.
