About

Backend engineer specializing in high-scale distributed systems, currently building trading infrastructure at Mudrex (YC W'19), India's crypto exchange broker. I design and ship Go microservices that process real-time financial data at scale - recently led a fix for a production performance issue in our funding-fee pipeline, cutting P99 latency by over 99% through bulk-insert buffering, covering index design, and Kafka partition strategy. Earlier at OkCredit, I re-architected a central auth system serving 1M+ users/day at 15ms p90 and led messaging infrastructure (WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS) handling 1M+ messages/day at 25% lower cost. Stack: Go, MySQL/RDS, Kafka, Redis, AWS (ECS/Fargate), gRPC. I have also spent 2+ years on the product side, so I build systems with a clear sense of business impact, not just technical elegance. Always open to conversations about backend architecture, distributed systems, and fintech infrastructure problems.
