Chandana Vanam
I’m an SDE-2 at Deutsche Bank with 4+ years of experience building backend and full-stack applications. My core expertise is in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, API design, system design, SQL, React, AWS, and Kafka.
I enjoy solving real-world engineering problems and building maintainable, secure, and production-ready systems. I’m particularly interested in scalable backend architecture, system design, and continuously improving my engineering depth.
I graduated from National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal in 2022 with a B.Tech in ECE and a CGPA of 8.0/10.
