About

Backend engineer with 8+ years building production systems across fintech, crypto, and consumer tech. I've spent most of my career owning backend systems end-to-end — from Goibibo's Kafka-driven wallet event pipeline serving Flights, Hotels, and Buses at Tier-1 consumer scale, to Mudrex's crypto trading infrastructure where I designed and built the Bybit Futures integration solo, a conditional order engine, and an A/B experimentation platform — all on Go and Python, backed by Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, and AWS. At Mudrex (SDE-3), I authored technical design docs that shaped architecture decisions across the team and mentored 3–4 engineers into independent ownership of features. Before that, I co-led a payroll engine rewrite at PagarBook and built core fintech infrastructure at Kaarva — KYC, cashout flows, and onboarding pipelines. I write design docs before I write code. I care about systems that are honest about their failure modes. And I think the best backend work is invisible — it just works. Currently exploring applied AI engineering — building a Q&A evaluation framework and a code review agent using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, while learning LangChain and LangGraph. Open to Staff Engineer and Principal Engineer roles globally — remote-first or hybrid. Strong preference for fintech, crypto, or AI-adjacent backend systems. Core stack: Go · Python (Flask, Django) · Apache Kafka · Redis · PostgreSQL · TimescaleDB · AWS · Grafana · Prometheus · Elasticsearch
