About Rohit Phutane

About Me - Into FinTech! I’m a seasoned Backend Engineer and Technical Lead/Architect with 9.8 years of experience in designing scalable, resilient, and cloud-native microservices. My core strength lies in building robust Java-based platforms that power real-time data streaming (7M+ events/day) and support millions of users with high uptime and performance. From orchestrating distributed systems with Kafka and MQTT to implementing AI-led developer workflows with OpenAI and GitHub Copilot, I thrive at the intersection of backend engineering, architecture, and automation. I've had the privilege of driving impactful projects at Deutsche Telekom’s Connected Car platform, rebuilding systems for high-throughput IoT use cases, and mentoring engineers to elevate code quality and architectural thinking. What I Bring to the Table Cloud-Native Development using Spring Boot, Java 17, WebFlux, AWS, and Azure Event-Driven & Real-Time Systems built with Kafka, MQTT, Redis, GraphQL 🧠 AI-Enhanced Engineering: Integrated OpenAI APIs & GitHub Copilot into SDLC to automate code reviews and developer workflows Performance Optimization and Resilience Engineering with Circuit Breakers, Caching, and Observability Tools (Prometheus, ELK) 🧪 Strong advocate for Clean Code, TDD/BDD, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices governance Hands-on experience mentoring engineers, conducting 120+ interviews, and leading architectural reviews for high-impact systems I Thrive In Architecting scalable systems for complex business problems Leading and mentoring high-performance engineering teams Automating workflows and driving innovation through AI Working in domains like Fintech, Connected Vehicles, IoT, and Enterprise SaaS. Let’s Connect! If you're building next-gen platforms that need scalable architecture, real-time data handling, or AI-driven developer tools — I’d love to connect and collaborate.
