Hello, I’m Arpan 👋

I’m a Software Developer Engineer at Credit Acceptance, based in Austin, TX. I build backend services and APIs, work with distributed systems, and obsess over making things faster.

I graduated with a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University in December 2024, where I focused on scalable and distributed systems and programming design paradigms. Before that, I earned my B.E. in Information Technology from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Technology.

What I do

I enjoy working across the stack — but I’m happiest near the backend. Some of what I’ve shipped recently:

  • Built REST APIs with Micronaut and Java that improved system interoperability by 30%
  • Optimized Oracle SQL queries from 8 seconds down to 500ms (16× speedup) through indexing strategies
  • Orchestrated microservices on Kubernetes for better scalability and resource management
  • Containerized 20+ applications with Docker and automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Earlier in my career, I co-founded Scudo Systems LLP, where I developed a real-time GPS tracking system with 90% accuracy using Python, Raspberry Pi, and IoT protocols. That experience shaped how I think about systems that need to work reliably in the real world.

Tech I work with

  • Languages: Java, Python, Go, TypeScript, SQL, C++, Swift
  • Frameworks & Runtime: Micronaut, Django, Node.js, Flask, React, Flutter
  • Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
  • Data & Messaging: MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, Kafka, Spark, Hadoop

Beyond the code

I was the Chapter Lead of the Mozilla Campus Club at my undergraduate campus, co-organized Flutter Vadodara, and served as a trusted Mozilla Rep. I’ve contributed to open-source projects — including the Flutter Shortcut Widget via the “Adopt a Widget” campaign on GitHub — and co-authored a research paper titled “Parkup” published in the International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology.

Get in touch

I’m always up for a conversation about distributed systems, backend architecture, or just a good book recommendation.
