About

I’m a senior software engineer with 11+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling complex, distributed systems across Healthcare, Networking, Travel, and Video Platforms. I operate comfortably across the full stack spanning UI and developer experience, backend and data platforms, and cloud infrastructure and platform architecture. In recent years, my work has increasingly focused on AI-native and Agentic systems, where I build and productionize RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, and MCP/A2A-based architectures. I’ve worked extensively with LangChain, LangSmith, PydanticAI, pgvector, and Azure services to deliver LLM-powered systems that are observable, secure, and maintainable at enterprise scale. Alongside backend and platform ownership, I bring strong frontend and UI architecture expertise. I’ve built modern web and mobile applications using React, Remix, AngularJS, and Flutter, with a deep understanding of SSR vs CSR trade-offs, performance optimization, accessibility, and UX consistency. I’m comfortable working end-to-end — from Figma-driven UX design to production UI — ensuring frontend decisions align tightly with backend contracts and system constraints. Core areas of expertise: * Frontend & UI: React, Remix, AngularJS, HTML, CSS/Less, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui, Radix UI, Vitest, UX collaboration with Figma * Mobile: Dart, Flutter, Algolia * Backend & APIs: Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Java (Spring Boot), Go (Gin), Node.js (JS/TS), REST, GraphQL, event-driven systems * AI & Data: Agentic AI, RAG, LangChain, LangSmith, pgvector, Redis, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, Power BI * Cloud & Platform: Azure (APIM, AKS, Service Bus, Event Hub, Entra ID, Key Vault, VNet/NSGs), AWS (EC2, EKS/ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, IAM, VPC, CloudFront), GCP (Firebase, Firestore, AdMob), Helm, Kustomize * DevOps & Messaging: Docker, CI/CD, GitHub, Bitbucket, Ansible, Ansible Tower, Kafka * Observability & Security: Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, Splunk, Nginx, HAProxy, L2/L7 protocols, Application Security (SAST/DAST/SCA), Whitesource, Netsparker, Checkmarx, Palo Alto firewall, Cloudflare * Enterprise Systems: CEPH Storage, Camunda (BPM), Ixia, Spirent, JMeter At a Senior/Staff level, I operate beyond individual features — owning architecture, influencing technical direction, mentoring engineers, and aligning engineering decisions with long-term business and platform strategy. I enjoy working in ambiguous problem spaces, evolving systems incrementally, and setting engineering standards that scale with teams and products.
