Hi, my name is

Shantanu Patil.

I build resilient systems, not just software.

I’m a Lead Software Engineer specializing in Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and distributed systems. I design production platforms with strong service boundaries, resilient data flows, and the operational discipline needed when real users depend on the system.

01. About Me

Started with Paint, and now I’m here designing and building complex web applications and scalable backend systems. I completed my engineering in 2019 from @KITS and have been working in the IT industry for the past 7 years, beginning my journey with @GlobalLogic and later joining @Kratin.

At Kratin, I lead backend engineering for healthcare platforms, driving service architecture, mentoring a team of 8 engineers, and building scalable, resilient systems. My work focuses on improving performance and reliability through Kafka-based workflows, Redis caching, SQL optimization, and modular backend design.

Currently, I’m deeply focused on System Design, distributed systems, and engineering trade-offs — learning how to build systems that remain reliable, fault-tolerant, and resilient at scale.
