SDE-IV at Draup | Engineering Manager | AI Enabler | Distributed Systems & Scalable Platform Infrastructure

About

I architect systems that treat scale as a first-class citizen. Over the last ~8 years at Draup, I’ve evolved a manual data ingestion process into a high-throughput, distributed platform processing 50M+ daily tasks and 30M+ daily requests. My work centers on decoupling engineering from operations: I designed a GraphQL-inspired extraction DSL and a config-driven engine that enables 100k+ source onboarding without code redeploys. Core Impact: Scale: Orchestrated a multi-layered backend (Temporal, Airflow, Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch) to manage massive task volatility. Efficiency: Optimized MongoDB architecture for multi-terabyte datasets, delivering 10x query performance gains. Future-Proofing: Currently leading the shift to AI-native automation, using LLMs to generate platform configs and reduce manual setup by 90%. Platform Logic: Designed a config-driven engine that abstracts extraction, pagination, and proxy management. Stack: Python (FastAPI/Django), Temporal, Celery, MongoDB, Playwright, AWS, LLM Orchestration. I am passionate about building the infrastructure that allows AI to do the "heavy lifting" of system maintenance and scaling.
