Spearheaded the development of Gen3, a next-generation, cloud-native logistics platform built from the ground up to support enterprise-scale shipment processing and integrations. Led a team of 4 engineers, driving development of new features and supporting existing production systems; joined the company pre-Series-B and scaled with it through its Series B round. Designed and developed scalable backend microservices using Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, and Celery, powering enterprise shipment and document processing workflows. Integrated agentic AI workflows using Agno OSS into backend services, enabling LLM-powered document intelligence and workflow automation. Leveraged AI tools such as Claude and custom agents for production debugging, root-cause analysis, automated incident triage, and code review, accelerating issue resolution across distributed microservices. Built plugins and skills on top of Raft Marketplace, the company's internal AI agent marketplace, extending agent capabilities for enterprise shipment and document workflows. Built and enhanced integrations between freight aggregators and Transportation Management Systems (TMS), enabling reliable processing of thousands of shipments per day through distributed, event-driven backend services. Developed asynchronous and event-driven processing pipelines using Kafka and Celery to support large-scale document processing and workflow orchestration, cutting document turnaround time by roughly 30%. Improved backend scalability and reliability by optimizing API performance, implementing memory-efficient document processing, and streamlining high-throughput data pipelines, reducing average API response times by approximately 25%. Investigated and resolved complex production issues across distributed microservices through end-to-end performance optimization and system-level analysis, reducing production incidents by approximately 20%.
