About Me
I'm Chakravarthi Nukala, a Software Engineer with 4 years of experience building authentication workflows, data processing pipelines, and API-driven systems in financial and enterprise environments. I specialize in designing scalable backend services, developing secure REST APIs, and integrating PostgreSQL databases in production environments using Django, FastAPI, and React.
With a strong foundation in AWS cloud services, Docker, and CI/CD automation, I have delivered high-uptime systems handling 10K+ transactions/day. I’ve collaborated in Agile teams, implemented PCI-DSS-compliant authentication, optimized batch pipelines with Kafka and Redis, and contributed to projects that improved deployment stability and reduced latency.
