## Headline

Software Engineer @Skoob\.ai \| Backend Systems \| Ex\-Gap Inc \| Building Scalable Production Infrastructure

## About

I am a Software Engineer currently working at Skoob\.ai, building scalable production\-grade systems using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Redis\. At Skoob, I own end\-to\-end backend features from schema design to deployment including discussion systems, AI\-powered content pipelines, and secure in\-app payment architectures \(IOS transaction flows\)\. I design asynchronous background workflows for transcript extraction, snippet generation, and analytics processing, ensuring reliability, idempotency, and low\-latency API performance in production environments\. Previously, I worked on vector database infrastructure at LaunchX Labs, where I optimized vector indexing performance by 30% and built SDK\-level integrations across AI frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex\. My focus there was performance engineering, testing reliability, and developer experience\. At Gap Inc\., I engineered an internal order management system that reduced stuck orders by 40% and automated operational workflows, improving cross\-team efficiency\. My work centers around scalable backend design, distributed system thinking, and performance\-driven engineering for production environments\. Core Stack: Python • FastAPI • Java • Spring Boot • PostgreSQL • Redis • Docker • GCP • REST APIs • Vector Databases • System Design
