Aman Makhija

I build event-driven backends and full-stack products — from Kafka pipelines that survive failure to interfaces people actually enjoy using.

About

I'm a software engineer who spends most days somewhere between distributed systems and the browser — designing services that stay correct under load, and shipping the UI on top of them.

At Cognizant I dig through large, often minified JavaScript codebases to find what's actually going wrong: logic flaws, race conditions in async code, unsafe third-party integrations. Outside of that, I build backend systems for fun — notification pipelines, ride-matching engines, chat platforms — usually with Kafka, Redis, and Spring Boot doing the heavy lifting.

Projects

notification-system.ts

Distributed Notification System

Event-driven notification system for real-time delivery at scale, built to stay correct even when downstream consumers fail.

Built with Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, and WebSockets for real-time delivery.
Designed an asynchronous processing pipeline using Kafka to decouple the API from consumers, so each side scales independently.
