About

I’m a Senior AI Backend Engineer specializing in building agentic AI systems and scalable distributed architectures. I design backend platforms where AI doesn’t just respond—but can reason, take actions, and operate autonomously within well-defined systems. My work focuses on system design, high-performance backend services, and production-grade AI integrations using AWS and Node.js. I’ve built and scaled systems that prioritize reliability, efficiency, and intelligent orchestration. I’m particularly interested in creating self-directed systems that can handle complex workflows with minimal human intervention. Beyond engineering, I enjoy mentoring teams, driving architectural decisions, and helping developers grow into strong system thinkers. I believe great systems come from clarity in design and strong collaboration. What I do best: • Design and ship backend services end-to-end (Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) • Build event-driven and async systems (RabbitMQ, queues, workers) • Own AWS infrastructure (ECS, ECR, ALB, S3, IAM, CI/CD) • Debug real production issues (scaling, timeouts, race conditions, data consistency) Recent impact: • Built courier-partner integrations from scratch used by multiple enterprise clients • Designed metadata-driven systems that reduced UI development time from days to hours • Migrated 100+ clients with zero downtime • Owned services in production handling real customer traffic What I’m looking for: • Backend / AI engineer roles with ownership • Teams where engineering decisions are valued • Opportunities to mentor small teams while staying hands-on I built an Automated Interview Assessment tool as part of my B.Tech project from scratch. This AI-driven system is designed to assess candidate performance in technical interviews by comparing answers to expected responses, providing a similarity score to gauge the candidate's alignment with company expectations.
