Building systems
that scale.
Backend-leaning engineer working across distributed systems, AI/LLM platforms and high-performance microservices — turning gnarly infrastructure into things that just work.
01 — About
Crafting intelligent,
resilient software.
I'm a backend-leaning engineer with a track record across distributed systems and AI platforms. At ZS Associates I build AI-powered enterprise tooling; before that at Jio I owned large-scale cloud observability modules monitoring thousands of servers in real time.
I care about the unglamorous parts — latency budgets, failure modes, clean boundaries — because that's what lets the interesting parts ship.

Experience
Senior Software Engineer
- →Leading Quill — an AI-powered medical-legal review platform: designed scalable microservices (FastAPI, Celery, Redis, pgvector) for RAG-based retrieval across 150k+ docs, deployed on Kubernetes.
- →Modernized a legacy monolith into a modular, horizontally scalable architecture with stateless services, async task queues, and layered design patterns.
- →Built a multi-agent orchestration framework (LangGraph) and integrated Langfuse for real-time LLM observability and prompt tuning.
- →Applied distributed systems principles — state decoupling, async processing, and layered architecture — to improve throughput and system reliability.
Software Development Engineer
- →Optimized 50+ FastAPI endpoints from 60s → <500ms using Python concurrency, connection pooling, and Elasticsearch query restructuring.
- →Built Kafka-based real-time data pipelines and Kubernetes KPI microservices for monitoring 1500+ government servers.
- →Designed ARP data collection pipelines achieving ~100% network topology visibility for project-wide network graphs.
- →Developed high-performance FastAPI microservices for real-time Kubernetes cluster monitoring across all levels.
