About

Backend and platform engineer with 7 years of experience focused on building reliable, production backend systems and internal platforms. I work mainly on distributed services, event-driven architectures, workflow orchestration, developer platforms, and AI/LLM infrastructure. I’ve shipped systems across backend cloud operations, CI/CD platforms, payments, marketplace services, and AI-powered features at DigitalOcean, Opendoor, Freshworks, and Elastic.run. My work usually involves taking loosely defined requirements, designing the system end-to-end, and running it in production with proper observability, controls, and performance considerations. Recently, I’ve been building LLM-based platform capabilities including RAG pipelines, desiging agent workflows, evaluation frameworks, and AI-assisted deployment and recommendation systems with focus on accuracy, guardrails, and operational visibility. **Core skills:** Python, Java, Go, Node.js, distributed systems, microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, workflow orchestration, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD, observability - (Prometheus, Grafana) and platform tooling. **AI stack:** LLM integration, RAG, vector databases, agent frameworks, prompt and context design, evals and benchmarking. I love working on platform, backend, and LLM-infra problems.
