SDE@Stage-OTT | IIT Guwahati ’23

About

I'm an engineer building production systems for consumer-scale platforms — currently at Stage OTT, previously at SuperYou and 1K Networks. What I work on: 🏗️ Distributed Systems & Payments — Built Stage OTT's coin-to-subscription redemption flow integrated with Razorpay, Stripe, and PhonePe, using atomic claim-execute-rollback patterns for multi-step financial operations. Designed redemption to be idempotent under concurrent load with atomic MongoDB operations and distributed locks across pods. 🤖 AI Features — Shipped an AI character bot feature powered by Gemini with SSE token streaming, dual-database architecture (ScyllaDB + Redis), and a self-improving auto-research pipeline that mines conversation data nightly with safety guardrails. ⚙️ Developer Tooling — Integrated Claude Code review agents into the GitHub CI pipeline for automated PR reviews, cutting roughly 30% of human reviewer time. Tech I use day-to-day: Java, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, ScyllaDB, AWS, Gemini API, Claude Code Graduated from IIT Guwahati in 2023. Currently exploring SDE-2 backend roles. 📩 sakshisharma70737@gmail.com
