I build backend systems that move real money at scale — and keep them running when things go wrong. For the past 6 years, I've designed and owned distributed systems across fintech-adjacent domains (GST reconciliation, financial event pipelines) and telecom analytics platforms — working at the intersection of data correctness, scalability, and operational reliability. What I actually do: → Design and own event-driven architectures (SQS, SNS, Kinesis, Kafka) processing millions of records daily → Drive zero-downtime infrastructure migrations across AWS accounts with 17+ downstream consumers → Build financial reconciliation systems where transactional consistency and idempotency are non-negotiable → Ship LLM-powered operational agents that reduce incident investigation time and onboarding overhead → Lead cross-functional technical delivery — from requirements and data modeling to production rollout Selected impact: - Owned matching system for a GST reconciliation platform processing ₹24.4B+ annually (15M+ ASINs) - Sole engineer on a zero-downtime migration from shared to dedicated AWS account — no production impact, 17 consumers migrated - Improved KPI query performance 10x and cut reporting latency from 2 hours to 15 minutes at CommScope My edge: I sit at the junction of platform reliability and financial correctness — comfortable owning the full technical lifecycle from architecture to production, and equally comfortable driving decisions across teams. Currently exploring Senior / SDE-3 opportunities in backend infrastructure, platform engineering, or AI infrastructure at companies building at scale.
