About

Senior Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems, high-scale platforms, and revenue-critical backend architecture. I design and build systems where data correctness, low latency, and scalability directly impact business outcomes. Core Expertise: • Backend Engineering (Go, Java, Python) • Distributed Systems & Microservices Architecture • Event-Driven Systems • Workflow Orchestration (Temporal) • Rule Engines & Decision Systems • Database Design & Optimization (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis) • High-Scale Systems (Million+ transactions/day) • Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes basics) I’m motivated by solving hard engineering problems, owning systems end-to-end, and building platforms that scale with both business complexity and growth. Open to Senior Engineer / Founding Engineer roles in backend, infrastructure, or AI-driven systems where I can drive architecture, scalability, and impact

Senior Software Engineer at Rippling, Jul 2026 - Present · 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Senior Software Engineer at CRED, Dec 2025 - Jun 2026 · 6 mo, Hybrid, Architected and evolved a rule-based pricing framework enabling dynamic configuration of offers and pricing constructs without code changes, significantly improving experimentation velocity Owned a stateless, horizontally scalable architecture capable of handling ~20K RPS with low-latency real-time computations Documented previously fragmented flows, creating a single source of truth for pricing logic across offers, fees, and tax handling Improved system reliability under high load by optimizing DB queries (CTEs, indexing) and mitigating timeout issues during peak events (e.g., cron spikes) Built structured logging and debugging workflows, drastically reducing issue resolution time across teams Practiced AI-augmented development (leveraging tools like Claude) to accelerate code comprehension, implementation, and debugging, significantly improving development velocity while maintaining high code quality

Software Engineer III at Zepto, Oct 2024 - Dec 2025 · 1 yr 3 mos, Mentoring peers. Reviewing TRDS Increasing System stability by continuously reviewing moving parts and adding better logging and metrics visibility. Spearheaded the development of Pharma And Compliance flow in Warehouse Management System Driven development of Hopping of warehouse to send inventory close to smaller delivery hub, rearchitected the existing flows and added necessary parallelisation in the business flow reducing the processing time.

Sofware Engineer II at Zepto, Apr 2023 - Oct 2024 · 1 yr 7 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Developed Outbound Microservice for Zepto Internal WMS. Used Temporal as a state management system for the Order Flow, GRPC, and Kafka for inter-microservice communication and Postgres for the persistence layer. Designed an Assignment service using rule engine which helps to assign task to associates based on trend of task done by them and also the pendency of task. Used Gorm Rules for online assignment logic, mongodb as persistence layer and grpc for inter service communication.

Software Engineer I at Zepto, Jun 2022 - Mar 2023 · 10 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, * Developed the Catalog Management System of Zepto using Go and Mongo as the persistence layer, utilizing GRPC for microservice-to-microservice connection. The system supports the creation of new collections with data sanity checks, including custom foreign key and primary checks built into the application layer, allowing the service to leverage dynamic schema while maintaining data constraints. This service feeds both the Zepto customer app as well as all internal services with catalog information. * Developed Mother Warehouse Management service using Spring boot and Postgres as persistence layer, utilizing various design patterns, the advanced functionality of Hibernate ORM and distributed locking with Redis, and building event-driven order creation services with Kafka, as well as implementing Spring AOP for simplifying critical features and designing interceptors for logging transactions, and setting up infrastructure and monitoring using AWS cloud watch and Newrelic.

Software Development Engineer 1 at TiVo, Aug 2021 - Jun 2022 · 11 mos, India, * Worked On Onboarding Media Data from Eleven Sport, Univision in the internal Metadata Processing pipeline that enriched the EMEA data inTivo Metadata Catalogue. * Involved in implementing the complete Application in the MVC architecture of Spring boot. * Developed a file parsing service, that used a factory pattern for processing files of different formats having different schema and converting into a common JSON format to be ingested into the Matching system of Tivo. * Rewrote the Deduplication logic used for processing Media data, and used MD5 hash to write the logic and this led to decreasing the number of DB writes. * Developed a Multi-Threaded Consumer application that consumed Media data from a common Rabbit MQ, and processed it using Spring Application. * Stream Down the Mapping process and automated the marking of Wrong data which accounted for 100K manual edits in Electronic TV Guide. * Rewrote the legacy code from C# to Spring Boot for one of the ingestion pipelines in Tivo.
