## Headline

​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\. Core stack: C\# / \.NET Core, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, SQL, Redis, Cosmos DB, Microservices, LLM Orchestration \(Claude / Azure OpenAI\) Credentials: M\.Tech \(CS\), IIIT Bangalore · GATE AIR 613 Open to senior backend and product engineering roles — feel free to reach out\.

## 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\.
