About

Senior Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience building high-scale Python/FastAPI services, distributed systems, cloud-native applications, and AI-enabled backend features (LangChain, LLMs, RAG). Currently at Thermo Fisher Scientific (via Kanmalai Technologies), engineering Python/FastAPI backend services for high-reliability e-commerce checkout and order-processing workflows on Kubernetes. At Zolnoi Innovations (AI-driven manufacturing analytics serving 50+ factories), I built backend services handling 10,000+ daily requests, designed a multi-channel notification engine (5,000+ alerts/day), and engineered automated report scheduling workflows. Previously as Founder & CTO of JustPoll (Streetlab Internet Pvt Ltd), I built and scaled a real-time social polling platform to 1,500+ Android and 600+ iOS users, led a 5-member engineering team through 20+ production releases, and managed the complete cloud (AWS), CI/CD, and database stack. I also build production AI products like AlgoHabit (LangChain & RAG-based DSA learning platform) and Ledgerly (scikit-learn ML finance SaaS). Strongest at the intersection of backend engineering, system reliability, and AI integration — architecting systems built to scale, perform, and maintain high availability.
