On-site

Working on large-scale warehouse automation, distributed inventory systems, and operational backend platforms powering Zepto’s Motherhub supply chain operations. Key Projects & Impact: • Vehicle-Based Receiving System (Hop MH) Architected a scalable vehicle-manifest expectancy system using Go, PostgreSQL, and Kafka, reducing annual inventory shrinkage by ₹17Cr and improving fill rates from 98.36% to 99.2% across 7 Mother Hubs processing 50K+ LPNs/month. • Smart Warehouse Quality Control & Automation Built an IoT-integrated warehouse automation suite for real-time weight validation and QC signaling, reducing tote damage by 63%, cutting QC processing time by 40%, and minimizing manual operational errors. • Distributed Inventory Ledger & Auto Shrinkage System Developed a highly available self-healing inventory ledger using Go, PostgreSQL, and Kafka to ensure transaction consistency, idempotency, and reliable asynchronous processing across services. Improved inventory accuracy to 99.5% and reduced manual reconciliation effort by 60%. Received Team Award for the project. Tech Stack: Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, gRPC, Microservices, Distributed Systems, Event-Driven Architecture, IoT Integration, Grafana Practiced AI-augmented development (leveraging tools like Claude) to accelerate code comprehension, implementation, and debugging, significantly improving development velocity while maintaining high code quality

About

Backend Engineer specializing in Distributed Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and High-Scale Backend Platforms. Currently working as an SDE-2 at Zepto, building scalable backend systems that power large-scale operational workflows and real-time inventory movement at scale. My work focuses on designing reliable distributed systems with strong consistency, fault tolerance, and high throughput. I enjoy solving engineering challenges around concurrency, asynchronous processing, event streaming, and system resiliency. Recent work includes: Building a self-healing distributed inventory ledger with 99.5% accuracy using Go, PostgreSQL, and Kafka Designing event-driven backend services handling large-scale inventory workflows Developing real-time automation systems integrating IoT devices with warehouse platforms Architecting vehicle-based receiving systems that significantly reduced operational losses Previously at Zeotap, I worked on large-scale data integration systems processing 2TB+ data daily across 140+ external platforms. Core Interests: Distributed Systems Backend Architecture Event Streaming Systems High-Throughput APIs Data-Intensive Applications Reliability Engineering Tech Stack: Go • PostgreSQL • Kafka • gRPC • Kubernetes • Microservices • AWS • GCP Open to backend engineering and distributed systems opportunities where engineering scale and system design are core challenges.
