Led and managed a 13-member engineering team across data and product teams, owning hiring, mentorship, sprint planning, and end-to-end delivery accountability. Spearheaded the architecture and end-to-end development of the post-login experience for VLCC.com, a high-scale global platform generating ₹50+ crore annually, handling millions of API requests per month with high availability and fault tolerance. Led the architecture and development of internal tools such as Lakshay, enabling request processing across 170+ VLCC centers and driving a 3x increase in sales. Reduced API latency by 72% through advanced PostgreSQL indexing, query optimization, and ORM tuning. Architected and built an internal self-hosted Data Warehouse (DWH) using ClickHouse, designing end-to-end data pipelines with Apache Airflow and Kafka for real-time and batch ingestion across business units. Built a centralized multi-channel notification platform in Golang supporting Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and Push — decoupling delivery logic from product services and enabling unified tracking at scale, sending 100k+ notifications per day. Spearheaded LLM-powered initiatives using OpenAI APIs, including AI voice calling agents for automated customer engagement and support. Established engineering best practices, code review standards, and tooling to improve team velocity and code quality across all squads.

What I'm currently working on

At VLCC, I am architecting agentic systems to automate complex B2B workflows and integrate LLMs.

My proudest non-work achievement

I successfully curated and exhibited my original digital paintings in a local gallery space last year. Translating complex technical logic into visual art has become my favorite way to find balance.

The last shipped feature I'm proudest of…

I engineered a data pipeline that slashed report generation times from eight hours to three minutes. This optimization fundamentally transformed our operational efficiency and ability to deliver real-time insights.
