I’m a Backend & GenAI Engineer with over 2 years of experience building scalable, reliable, and high-performance systems across e-commerce, SaaS, and early-stage startup environments. My work spans both traditional backend engineering and modern AI-driven architectures, allowing me to build systems that are fast, intelligent, and production-ready.I’ve worked on multiple impactful products—supporting WizCommerce’s B2B commerce platform, contributing to Fynix.ai (an AI-powered coding and data-analysis assistant), and launching 0→1 platforms like Growder and Inpackaging in early-stage startup settings. Across these roles, I’ve owned critical backend modules, designed microservices, optimized APIs, improved system performance by 80–90%, and built automation and data pipelines at scale.My technical skill set includes Java, Spring Boot, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Elasticsearch, AWS, GCP, and production-grade observability tools. On the AI side, I work with LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, RAG pipelines, vector search, embeddings, and workflow automation—enabling AI features to integrate seamlessly into backend systems.With strong fundamentals in system design, DSA (300+ problems), and Machine Learning & AI, I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, improving architecture, and building products that deliver real business impact. I thrive in fast-paced environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams, taking ownership, and driving ideas from concept to production.
