About

Full-stack engineer with 4+ years building production systems across fintech and maritime SaaS — from empty repos to live products handling real money and real-time data. At GeoServe, I own backend delivery, release lifecycle, and production monitoring for a voyage-optimization platform spanning 5 services. I designed and shipped a real-time alerting system (pluggable handler registry, SSE with retry, Kafka-to-email delivery pipeline), built an ETL service that automated manual data entry from external APIs, and rolled out SonarQube quality gates across 5 services. Earlier, I rebuilt an acquired claims platform from scratch and took it to production in 6 months. At Dexif, I owned the entire Postgres layer across 4 fintech products — schema design, migrations, Row-Level Security, RPC functions — while shipping features against stock-exchange integration deadlines. At SuperHire, I grew from intern to SDE-L2, led a team of 5, built CI/CD pipelines that cut deploy time by 50%, and set up observability with Grafana and Prometheus. My stack is Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and AWS, with production experience in Golang, Kafka, and event-driven architectures. I'm most useful in teams that need engineers who can own a domain, improve what exists, and ship reliably.

SDE 2 at GeoServe, Jun 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Voyage Optimization Platform (current — owning backend delivery) - Own backend delivery, release lifecycle (biweekly), and production monitoring across a multi-service architecture (route generation, PDF generation, DB sync service). - Designed a multi-layered algorithm for detecting passed/skipped route points — distance-comparison heuristics, route alignment, and geometric projection fallback — significantly reducing false positives. Real-Time Alerting Platform (designed and shipped end-to-end) - Built a pluggable handler registry, alert lifecycle management, and evaluation service with configurable per-user thresholds. - Delivery pipeline: SSE with DB-polling and retry for in-app alerts; Kafka producer→consumer→email via Microsoft Graph with recipient gating and event-based auto-archival. SHINC – Claims Platform (rebuilt from scratch, earlier product) - Rebuilt an acquired platform end-to-end — architecture, auth (Microsoft SSO, JWT rotation), core calculation engine, WebSocket file upload with S3 signed URLs. Empty repo to production in 6 months. - Built an ETL service: cron polling external APIs, CSV-to-structured-record transformation, and automated draft generation replacing manual data entry. Added assignment/transfer workflows with state management. Platform & Infrastructure - Rolled out SonarQube with Jest coverage gates across 5 services; introduced unit testing with dependency injection. - Moved API tokens client→server-side with domain restriction and CSP headers. Fixed a production memory leak (compression caching + TTL) and DB connection-pool exhaustion. - Authored 19 engineering docs: API testability standards, deployment runbooks, and onboarding checklists.
