About

Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience architecting distributed systems and production-grade AI platforms. I specialize in building scalable distributed systems and reliable, data-driven agentic workflows that drive measurable business impact Key Impact: Distributed Systems: Architected a zero-downtime migration from a DB2 mainframe to Kafka microservices at Lowe’s, scaling to 700K+ daily APIs and 1M+ events/day across 1,700+ stores. Production AI: Built and scaled MerchantGPT, an agentic NL-to-SQL platform. Replaced a flawed V1 RAG design with custom chunking, LangGraph, and GCP Discovery Engine, reducing production SQL defects by 15% and slashing QA time from days to hours. Reliability: Owned on-call rotations and compliance validation layers, driving a 30% reduction in weekly production incidents with zero rollout failures. Core Tech: Kotlin, Python, Kafka, Spring Boot, LangGraph, Google ADK, GCP (Vertex AI, Discovery Engine), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, RAG

Senior Software Engineer at Lowe's India, Oct 2024 - Present · 2 yrs, India, Lowe's Store Stocking (LSS) — Distributed Inventory Platform - Architected and led migration of legacy DB2 mainframe stocking platform to Kafka event-driven microservices, establishing the single source of truth for 1,700+ stores while scaling to 700K+ daily APIs and 1M+ events/day. - Engineered data consistency checks and rollback strategies for the monolith cutover to eliminate DB contention, decoupling 3 downstream teams and reducing API latency by 20%. - Built product catalogue validation layer with compliance teams, preventing regulatory violations with zero rollout incidents, and owned on-call rotation to drive a 30% reduction in weekly production incidents. MerchantGPT — AI Analytics Platform - Architected an agentic Natural Language to SQL platform, replacing a flawed RAG design by implementing custom document chunking, vector DB integration, and LangGraph workflows to significantly improve retrieval accuracy. - Led migration to GCP's managed AI stack, transitioning agentic workflows from LangGraph to Google ADK and migrating vector chunks to Discovery Engine for enterprise-grade deployment on Agent Engine. - Engineered an automated LLM evaluation framework with LLM-as-judge semantic verification, automating 100+ NL-to-SQL regression scenarios, slashing QA time from days to hours, and reducing production SQL defects by 15%. Technologies: Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kafka, Python, FastAPI, LangGraph, Google ADK, Vertex AI, Discovery Engine, GCP, DB2, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis
