​Senior Backend Engineer | Architecting high-availability systems, autonomous AI agents, and frictionless self-serve flows | ex-Microsoft

About

I'm a product-minded senior backend engineer with 7+ years building high-availability distributed systems and customer-facing features across fintech and enterprise SaaS. Most recently at Mesh, I built the wallet-connectivity infrastructure behind Binance Connect and Robinhood Connect — turning multi-day, manual partner onboarding into self-serve flows that go live in an hour or two. I like owning a feature end to end: understanding the user problem, shipping it, and instrumenting the funnels to see how it actually behaves in production. Lately, I've also been building with GenAI to streamline engineering workflows. I designed and deployed an autonomous, Claude-orchestrated bug-resolution agent on Kubernetes—correlating signals from Bugsnag, Datadog, and App Insights to execute auto-RCAs and CI/CD-gated fixes in isolated git worktrees—cutting fix time from 4–8 hours to ~20 minutes across 2 teams. Before that, I spent 6 years at Microsoft (Cloud + AI) architecting distributed, geo-replicated platforms. As BCDR champion, I scaled infrastructure across 4 regions to maintain REST APIs at sub-100ms latency and 99.99% availability, built a model-driven engine that cut API onboarding from a week to 2 days, and saved $30K/month in Azure spend.

Work experience

Senior Backend Engineer at Mesh pay, Jul 2025 - Jul 2026 · 1 y, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, - Shipped wallet connectivity that lets users link new networks and tokens without waiting on a release — cutting time-to-support a new wallet from a code-and-deploy cycle to under an hour with zero deploys, so the team could onboard partner requests almost immediately. - Turned Binance Connect client onboarding from a multi-day, handshake-dependent process into a self-serve flow that gets a new client live in 1–2 hours, removing the biggest friction point in activation. - Launched Robinhood Connect deposits and withdrawals — a core money-movement feature — in 2 weeks, with funnel and anomaly dashboards to watch real transfer behavior and catch failures before users felt them. - Built an autonomous, Claude-orchestrated bug-resolution agent (deployed on Kubernetes) that correlates signals across Bugsnag, Datadog, and Azure App Insights into an automated RCA, then implements and validates each fix in isolated git worktrees — gating every PR through existing CI/CD checks before human review. Cut Bugsnag time-to-fix from 4–8 hours to ~20 minutes; adopted by 2 teams. - Consolidated fragmented Binance dashboards into unified trend and funnel views, giving the team a clear read on where users dropped off and where anomalies emerged. - Led incident RCA and partnered with external teams at Binance, Robinhood, and Fin to integrate products, onboard clients, and drive upstream fixes before release. Tech: C#, .NET Core, React, SQL, Redis, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, EF Core, Claude (LLM orchestration)
