Vikas Thakur

As an experienced Software Development Engineer with 5.5 years of experience, I have a strong background in Java, Spring, AWS, Aerospike, data structures and algorithms, MySQL, Redis, and Kafka.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills to build scalable and robust software systems that solve complex problems. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in designing and developing applications, building APIs, optimizing database performance, and integrating third-party services.

My expertise in data structures and algorithms has enabled me to write efficient and optimized code, while my experience with AWS and other cloud technologies has helped me to build highly scalable and reliable applications. I am also experienced in working with NoSQL databases such as Aerospike and Redis, as well as message brokers such as Kafka.

I am constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow and expand my skill set. If you are looking for a skilled software developer with a passion for building innovative solutions, I would love to connect with you.

Feel free to reach out to me to discuss potential opportunities or to learn more about my skills and experience.
