Founding Engineer @barq \| Ex\-Blackbuck \| Ex\-Amadeus \| VIT

## About

I am a Technical enthusiast with over 6\.5 years of experience specializing in high\-performance distributed systems and AI\-native engineering\. My career is defined by building the "coordination layers" that transform complex business logic into scalable, automated workflows\. Currently, I am focused on redefining the traditional software development lifecycle \(SDLC\) through Specification\-Driven Development \(SDD\) and Context Engineering\. By treating technical specifications as executable contracts and architecting "Just\-in\-Time" context pipelines for AI agents, I’ve successfully reduced PR review cycles by 40% and accelerated service setup times by 50% in high\-growth environments\. My Core Technical DNA: Distributed Systems: Specializing in Temporal workflows, Apache Kafka, and event\-driven microservices processing 30,000\+ TPM\. AI\-Native Workflows: Designing AI\-driven quality gates, automated test generation patterns, and agentic orchestration frameworks\. Full\-Stack Architecture: Expert in Java \(Spring Boot\), TypeScript, Node\.js/NestJS, and AWS cloud\-native ecosystems\. Beyond the code, I am a firm believer that "every line of code is a liability\." I thrive in fast\-paced startup environments where I can mentor and learn from engineering teams, establish high\-quality architectural standards, and build intelligent "systems of work" that eliminate human glue\-work\.
