🔹 Hi, folks! I'm Sarthak Rastogi, and I currently work at Bristlecone (Tech Mahindra) as an OIC Developer.
My journey began during my college years (2022–2026), when I fell in love with backend development. From building simple monolithic applications to developing production-grade microservices using Java and Spring Boot, I spent countless hours understanding how things work behind the scenes. That passion eventually earned me an internship as a Java developer.
By the time I graduated, I had offers from Absyz, Restroworks, and Bristlecone. I chose Bristlecone because Java had already become my comfort zone—although, looking back, I clearly underestimated my habit of constantly learning new things.
Today, I build adapters for Oracle using Core Java, develop integration solutions with Oracle Integration Cloud and Generative AI, and actively contribute to AI projects that are helping my organization become more efficient.
Over the years, I've evolved from a Java developer to an integration engineer, and now I'm steadily growing into an AI engineer.
What excites me the most is growth.
And honestly, I love my work. More importantly, I love the fact that I still have the same passion and curiosity to learn something new every single day.
