About

With 9+ years of experience across fast-paced startups and product companies, I specialize in architecting and scaling distributed systems, AI-driven workflows, and high-availability backend platforms. My work spans building automation using RAG and LangGraph, designing resilient microservices, strengthening system reliability, and driving large-scale data architectures on Snowflake.At Ocrolus, I’ve led major initiatives around system design, architecture reviews, multi-service orchestration, and infrastructure optimization—while mentoring engineers and partnering with multiple teams on key technical decisions. Previously, I contributed to improving system stability, designing data pipelines, and elevating performance across fintech products at Airbase and Masters India.As Co-Founder & CTO of Legistify, I built the company’s entire technical foundation—from architecting a litigation management platform used by enterprises to scaling a consumer website from hundreds to 10k+ daily users and driving 2M+ organic visitors.I thrive at the intersection of AI, distributed systems, system design, performance engineering, and startup execution, with a strong focus on building reliable, scalable, and impactful technology.
