About

Software Development Engineer with 2.5 years of experience as a full-stack developer, with a strong focus on backend systems, distributed architecture, and high-volume execution pipelines. Experienced in building scalable services using Go, MongoDB, AWS, and React.js across event-driven workflows, internal dashboards, portfolio rebalancing engines, and automation platforms. I have worked on performance-critical systems involving queue-based processing, workflow orchestration, operational monitoring, and fault-tolerant execution.Have owned end-to-end features ,made design docs(HLD/LLD) , making component plans including time for metrics , code reviews , on-call tasks , end to end UAT testing , identifying cross team dependencies, distributing work to fellow teammates , Won the Maverick Badge in the Caliber Challenge for building a fully autonomous Software Development Agentic Pipeline that supports spec-driven feature delivery, automated design, implementation, review, testing, and quality-gated execution. Currently focused on backend engineering, scalable system design, developer productivity, and AI-assisted software development workflows.

Work experience

SDE 1 at Dezerv, Jun 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Backend engineer , Golang mongo db stack

Software Engineer at Dezerv Investments, Jun 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 3 mos, • Designed gate-based quality checks that advanced the pipeline only when generated code, tests, and artifacts matched the feature spec, HLD, and LDD; added state tracking, auto-continue hooks, structured artifact generation, dashboard-driven inputs, and JIT file steering using API context, indexed code, domain docs, and coding-pattern docs. [Kiro, OpenAPI, CGC, Agentic Workflows] • Built and shipped an enhanced rebalancing flow in a 3-day sprint using the agentic pipeline, enabling seamless execution across all Dezerv strategies and reducing operational turnaround time from 3 hours to 15 minutes. Owned delivery end-to-end by identifying PRD gaps, aligning changes with product, revising timelines, and communicating execution trade-offs with stakeholders. [Golang, MongoDB, AWS, ReactJS, Agentic Workflow] • Architected an event-driven internal operations portal for high-volume money movement workflows across investment strategies, enabling Rs. 500 Cr+ AUM movement through asynchronous processing, workflow automation, and production-grade monitoring. Planned NFRs, component-level metrics, failure-point coverage, and Slack alerts during design to improve operational reliability. [Golang, MongoDB, AWS, Argo Jobs] • Scaled the “One Model” portfolio rebalancing engine by introducing parallel processing and queue-based fan-out execution, reducing runtime by 83.3% from 1.2 hours to 15 minutes for 5,000+ portfolios. Added observability across worker queues and execution failure points to support faster debugging and recovery. [Golang, MongoDB, AWS, Argo Jobs] • Implemented SIP/STP forecasting in the rebalancing engine to account for scheduled cash flows during allocation calculations, improving recommendation accuracy across portfolio update workflows. [Python, Golang, PostgreSQL] • Built configuration-driven GitHub CI/CD pipelines to deploy and remove AWS Lambda functions and Step Functions across environments with repeatable release workflows.
