Adhyaksa Awards 2025
Backend architecture for high-traffic campaign events.
Backend Developer | 2024 - Present
Portfolio overview
Built backend services for Adhyaksa Awards 2025 covering nomination content flow, category data integrity, and resilient delivery for publication days with sharp traffic spikes.
The main challenge in Adhyaksa Awards was balancing fast content updates with strict consistency across nominee, category, and editorial metadata.
I introduced shared backend services for core data contracts so landing, nominee, and highlight sections consumed the same validated payload structure.
I optimized query access patterns for repeated high-visibility sections and paired them with selective cache TTL policies.
During critical publishing windows, I coordinated release checks with content and QA teams to reduce last-minute regressions.
Key impact
- Improved editorial turnaround for nominee updates by streamlining validation and publishing flow.
- Reduced duplicated data-fetch logic by consolidating category and nominee retrieval into shared service modules.
- Kept award pages responsive during announcement windows with targeted cache and query optimization.
