Summary
Neeraj Pai is a pragmatic backend engineer with 11 years of experience designing and scaling high-availability microservices, currently contributing to PhonePe’s payments platform from Mumbai. He has a strong Java-first background across frameworks (Dropwizard, Jersey, Spring Boot) and operational tooling (Docker, Mesos/Marathon, Kubernetes, Jenkins) and is comfortable across databases and caching layers like MariaDB, Aerospike and Redis. Previously he led platform shifts from monoliths to microservices at ezDI, building SSO, centralized logging and permissions services that enabled faster product delivery. His early experience as an IIT Bombay systems administrator and an MTech in CS give him a rare blend of deep systems-level rigor and product-oriented delivery. Colleagues would describe him as a steady problem-solver who pairs robust engineering with practical automation to keep services resilient at scale.
