About

I'm a Software Engineer with 12+ years building backend systems for product-based companies in the financial domain, currently at VISA. Over the past two years I've moved deep into applied AI — I architected and led an internal AI-powered translation platform (using Claude and Gemini) that replaced VISA's third-party vendor, and I've built agentic validation pipelines using embeddings, GenAI, and MCP (Model Context Protocol). I also lead the adoption of AI coding tools like Claude and GitHub Copilot across my team's day-to-day workflow. On the systems side, I design and build distributed, event-driven platforms handling real-time payments and settlement data at scale — including re-architecting a batch process that ran once every 24 hours into a real-time Kafka streaming pipeline. I've served as Tech Lead across multiple VISA initiatives, including a cross-functional modernization effort spanning 15 engineers. I'm currently pursuing an M.Tech in AI & Machine Learning from BITS Pilani to deepen my formal grounding in the space I'm already building in. Core stack: Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Microservices, Distributed Systems, AWS, Kubernetes, Claude/Gemini APIs, GenAI, Agentic AI. #RealTimePayments #RTP #Fintech #GenAI #AgenticAI #Microservices #DistributedSystems #Kafka #SoftwareEngineering #TechLead
