Senior Backend Engineer | 10+ Years | Python, Django, System Design, Scalable Distributed Systems

About

I build backend systems that hold up under real scale, and I've spent the last 10 years doing it for products used by thousands of businesses. At Ottimate, I led the rollout of a Reports & Analytics product now used by 3,000+ clients and 1,500+ daily active users. When report generation became a bottleneck, I migrated the reporting infrastructure to ClickHouse, cutting generation time by 70% and taking timeouts to near zero. I also own a chunk of our support-to-engineering pipeline, resolving high-priority bugs within tight SLAs and cutting backlog volume by over 25%. Before that, at Practo, I owned the Diagnostics product end-to-end, from solution design through delivery, including a prescription-upload ordering feature that helped close a ₹12 crore deal. I led a team of three engineers there, and at Ottimate I continue to mentor and onboard new engineers, focusing on code quality, testing discipline, and solid agile habits. My core stack is Python and Django, with REST APIs, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and system design for scalable, distributed backends. I've worked across fintech, healthtech, and telecom, which has taught me that the fundamentals of reliable backend engineering (clear ownership, sound architecture, and relentless attention to what breaks at scale) transfer everywhere.
