About
I'm Shubham Panchal — a backend engineer with 3+ years of experience designing scalable distributed systems in enterprise and financial environments. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, with a strong focus on reliability, fault tolerance, and system design.
I've built high-volume financial platforms and distributed processing services, working with technologies like Kafka, Temporal, and Kubernetes. I gravitate toward hard infrastructure problems — consensus algorithms, event-driven pipelines, and distributed coordination. Based in Pune, India.
Outside of work, I explore distributed systems fundamentals through hands-on implementations — building Raft-based key-value stores and MapReduce frameworks from scratch to deeply understand the underlying mechanics.
