About
Lead Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience building and scaling payments, subscriptions, and monetization systems at Pocket Entertainment. Started as a software intern and grew alongside the company from pre-revenue stages to hundreds of millions in annual recurring revenue. I specialize in designing high-scale backend systems that directly impact revenue, including payment orchestration, subscription lifecycle management, checkout optimization, renewal recovery, and global payment gateway integrations. Over the years, I have led initiatives that improved payment success rates, increased subscription renewals, reduced infrastructure and processing costs, and enabled expansion across multiple international markets. My experience spans Python, Django, Kafka, Redis, MySQL, distributed systems, microservices architecture, and large-scale transaction processing. I have integrated and managed multiple payment providers including Stripe, PhonePe, Razorpay, Juspay, Google Play Billing, Apple IAP, and other global payment platforms. I enjoy solving complex business and engineering problems at the intersection of technology, product, and revenue. Outside of day-to-day execution, I actively contribute to system design, architecture reviews, mentoring engineers, and building scalable platforms that accelerate business growth.
