About

I'm a Platform & Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience shipping production-grade systems that scale. From building event-driven microservices at TransUnion (formerly Neustar) to currently architecting Enterprise GenAI data pipelines for Reliance Jio at GeekyAnts, I've operated at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data systems — consistently delivering outcomes that matter: 7% platform revenue growth, 90%+ reduction in untagged cloud costs, and deployments spanning 5 global regions. My core toolkit centers on Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud), Apache Kafka, and cloud-native services across GCP and AWS. I build the things that hold distributed systems together — API gateways with JWT auth and circuit-breaker patterns, transactional outbox pipelines, lakehouse architectures on Databricks Delta Lake, and cross-cloud migration services with zero manual intervention. I'm equally comfortable writing PySpark aggregation logic, designing Go-based HTTP-to-event-bus gateways, or debugging a 13-day pipeline stall in production. What I bring to enterprise and consulting environments is a rare blend of deep technical execution and a stakeholder-facing consulting mindset. I've led 4-member agile teams, mentored 6 engineers, coordinated with frontend, backend, and ML teams across complex data estates, and authored developer runbooks for global handoffs. GCP Cloud Hero Challenge Winner. 6× Quarterly Award recipient at TransUnion. M.Tech in AI/ML from BITS Pilani. If you're building high-throughput, data-intensive backend systems — I'd love to connect.

Work experience

Data Engineering Consultant — Reliance Jio (JBIQ Alpha / Omni AI Platform) at GeekyAnts, Mar 2026 - Present · 6 mos, Designed and owned the end-to-end KPI instrumentation framework for JioBharatIQ, covering 52 metrics across 4 data domains (GA events, feedback, service logs, LLM telemetry); identified 19 uninstrumented app events and drove cross-functional closure with frontend and backend teams — resulting in complete observability coverage across the GenAI platform. Engineered multi-environment Bronze → Silver → Gold lakehouse pipelines on Databricks Delta Lake with Azure ADLS Gen2; implemented Databricks Asset Bundles (DAB) for IaC with environment-specific config injection, cutting deployment effort and enabling consistent rollouts across dev, replica, and production Unity Catalog databases. Developed PySpark pipelines computing 30+ daily metrics (DAU/MAU/WAU, DSAT rate, latency p50/p90/p95) and built a Python asyncio service exporting LangFuse LLM telemetry from ClickHouse to ADLS with concurrent parallel exports — enabling ML and analytics teams to consume production-grade AI performance signals in near-real-time. Architected a Go-based HTTP-to-event-bus gateway with OAuth2/JWT auth routing to Azure Event Hub (primary) and GCP Pub/Sub (fallback); deployed a FastAPI PII masking service using Microsoft Presidio and spaCy NER with India-specific recognizers — achieving DPDP compliance across all pipeline flows. Audited a 116-table Databricks pipeline across 4 data domains; diagnosed 0% LLM metadata fill rate on 866K rows and a 13–19 day pipeline stall in DEV vs. Replica; authored Databricks Genie prompt suites to automate schema verification, cross-source join validation, and KPI fulfillment audits.

Senior Software Engineer II — GeekyAnts Internal at GeekyAnts, Jan 2026 - Present · 8 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Designed decoupled, high-throughput microservices using Spring Boot and Apache Kafka with exactly-once delivery semantics and idempotent consumer patterns; adopted the transactional outbox pattern to guarantee event durability across service boundaries for AI agent workloads. Implemented a centralized Spring Cloud Gateway with JWT validation, Resilience4j rate limiting, and circuit-breakers — establishing production-grade API resiliency for backend-to-AI-agent query flows. Architected SmartCourier Pro, a production-grade logistics microservices platform (Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker) featuring JWT auth with refresh token rotation, idempotent Kafka consumers, Prometheus + Zipkin observability, and JMeter load test plans; authored developer runbooks and full deployment documentation.

Software Engineer at TransUnion, Dec 2023 - Jan 2026 · 2 yrs 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Architected the RLS Cost API and Dynamic Environment Cost API, providing real-time cloud spend visibility; led a Resource Tagging Framework across GCP and AWS that reduced untagged cloud costs by 90%+ in production — delivering significant FinOps savings across the enterprise. Built a full-stack Data Quality Framework (Spring Boot, Vue.js, PostgreSQL) with column-level SQL integrity rules, schema-driven audit logging, and a configuration UI; the platform directly drove 7% revenue growth by increasing enterprise customer confidence in data accuracy. Developed a self-service Cross-Cloud Asset Migration Service using GCP APIs, AWS SDKs, and Spring Boot — enabling zero-manual-intervention data movement across cloud storage buckets and eliminating complex ad-hoc scripting for operations teams. Led end-to-end technical deployment of the OneTru platform across 5 global regions (India, Canada, UK, Spain, Philippines); mapped legacy bureau architectures to modern cloud capabilities and ensured regional data compliance — a flagship multi-region enablement initiative. Built a centralized Operations Costing Dashboard for executive leadership, aggregating multi-source cost data with permission-based access control, token authentication, caching, and real-time sync across GCP and AWS environments. Mentored 6 engineers and led 4-member agile teams across critical deliveries; conducted cross-functional knowledge-sharing sessions for global teams across India and international offices. Recognized as a 6× Quarterly Award Winner for consistent technical excellence and innovation; won the GCP Cloud Hero Challenge for advanced expertise in Google Cloud Platform services.
