About

Backend Engineer specializing in distributed architectures, high-throughput APIs, and event-driven infrastructure. Currently driving scalable backend solutions at Rippling; previously architected core financial and backend services at Betterhalf.ai (YC W’21). I specialize in identity systems, transactional integrity, and massive scale. At MoEngage, I engineered Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning and redesigned complex SCIM and OAuth 2.0 authentication flows, driving a 4× improvement in system throughput while maintaining sub-50ms latency. Previously at Betterhalf, I architected a multi-rail payments engine supporting UPI and virtual accounts. Built on a distributed state machine and a double-entry ledger, this platform seamlessly scaled to process ₹150Cr+ in monthly bookings with low-latency APIs and reliable asynchronous processing. Beyond core infrastructure, I productionize Generative AI to solve critical business bottlenecks. Leveraging RAG architectures, LLMs, and agentic workflows, I build systems that drive immediate ROI. A recent highlight includes designing an automated pipeline using Vertex AI and notification that slashed enterprise sales deck generation time by 99%—turning an 8-hour manual process into a 2-minute workflow. Operating with a strong product-centric lens—backed by a Top 5% finish in the Airtribe AI-First PM Fellowship—I am an engineer who ships. Whether designing a highly concurrent payments ledger or robust event-driven pipelines using Kafka and SQS, I ensure every architectural decision translates directly to market impact.
