Sr. Software Engineer at super.money (by Flipkart) | ex-CRED

About

Backend engineer with 6 years of experience building high-scale distributed systems and fintech platforms. Here’s what I’ve been fortunate to work on: 🚀 Building the platform that powers API Gateway, authentication, security, and traffic management at Super.money. ⚡ Led the development of a real-time feature engineering platform (Flink + Feast) powering UPI fraud detection, processing 2K+ events/sec. This helped in stoping 20Lakhs+ in frauds, and counting. 📈 Modernized core infrastructure by migrating services to Kubernetes + Kong, scaling APIs to ~15K RPS. 💳 Built lending platforms at CRED from the ground up, enabling products like BNPL, Term Loans(repayment and foreclosure), and Loan Against Securities for millions of users. 💰 Designed payment infrastructure processing 4B+ transactions every month and optimized production services to reduce AWS costs by 31%. 🤝 I enjoy taking ownership, from designing systems and shipping features to improving reliability, performance, and fault tolerance. Outside of work, I enjoy thinking about distributed systems, platform engineering, and building software that’s simple, reliable, and built to scale.
