Founding Engineer @ClickPe (YC W23) | Backend + Cloud + AI Infrastructure | Building Scalable Systems 0→1 | AI Automation

About

I'm a passionate founding engineer who builds scalable backend systems and AI automation infrastructure for early-stage startups. At ClickPe, I've transformed operational efficiency through intelligent automation, reducing manual processes by 40% while building production-grade fintech solutions. What I Build: • Backend & Cloud Infrastructure: Java, Python, Go with AWS (Lambda, EKS, ECS, VPC, Auto Scaling) • AI-Powered Automation: Voice calling agents with TTS/STT, RAG/NLP pipelines, automated workflows using Temporal and n8n • Serverless Microservices: Designed fault-tolerant architecture reducing MTTR by 80% and debugging time significantly while ensuring proper request handling • Financial Systems: Built Loan Management System improving operational efficiency by 25%, integrated Apache Fineract with seamless database migrations My Approach: Instead of grinding LeetCode problems, I focus on solving real-world challenges through POCs that become production features. I spend weekends connecting with startup founders to understand their pain points and build solutions that scale from 0→1. Problem-Solving Track Record: • Designed serverless microservices architecture orchestrated with Temporal workflows deployed on EKS, reducing MTTR by 80% and debugging time significantly while ensuring proper request handling and fault tolerance • Integrated 10+ open-source tools (Apache Fineract, Temporal, Camunda 8, LiveKit, n8n, Keycloak, Grafana) into production-ready solutions • Created voice calling agents increasing lead conversion rates by 30-40% • Built enterprise-grade monitoring solution achieving 99.9% system visibility • Enhanced credit underwriting workflows migrating from Camunda v7 to v8 • 500+ DSA problems solved, but more importantly - countless startup challenges solved I'm passionate about: • Building rapid prototypes in startup environments • Contributing to live products that create real impact • Automating tedious tasks with AI to unlock human creativity • Working with small teams making big impacts (speedboat over Titanic mentality) Perfect for: YC startups, remote-first companies, and founders who need someone to build their technical foundation from day one. Let's connect if you're building something that matters! 🚀

Developing Quizmate at Quizmate, Aug 2023 - Jan 2024 · 6 mos, At college, I developed QuizMate, a quiz management application that addresses the challenges students and educators face with college quizzes typically conducted through Google Forms. This platform enhances the quiz experience with key features: 1. Question Management: View, create, update, and delete questions easily. 2. Topic and Difficulty Filtering: Filter questions by predefined topics and difficulty levels. 3. User Profiles: Create profiles, verify emails, and manage profile pictures using Cloudinary. 4. Session Management: Create private quiz sessions, invite participants, and track unique session IDs. 5. Blog Features: Engage with posts, comments, and likes. 6. Google Vertex AI Integration: Generate hints for quiz questions. 7. Security: APIs secured with Spring Security, requiring JWT tokens for sensitive actions. This project involved collaboration with various students, particularly in the frontend domain, where we built the website using React.js and developed a Flutter application. Through QuizMate, I improved user engagement and streamlined quiz management, enhancing the overall learning experience while honing my skills in Java Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

Back End Developer Intern at Liveasy, Dec 2022 - Jun 2023 · 7 mos, Remote, Integrated components and security filters in Java Spring Boot, utilizing PostgreSQL and implementing JWT-based security measures to enhance application protection, resulting in a 40% reduction in unauthorized access incidents .
