About

Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable backend and platform systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and cloud-native technologies. I specialize in high-performance APIs, data-driven services, and developer-focused platforms in product-led environments. At Tesco, I work on backend and AI-enabled systems, developing Node.js and FastAPI services integrated with PostgreSQL, Couchbase, Redis, and AWS. I have delivered measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and developer productivity through CI/CD automation, caching strategies, and robust testing. I have hands-on experience building production-grade GenAI features, including LLM-powered conversational chatbots and RAG-based document summarization pipelines that extract key insights from enterprise policy and help content. These solutions improve information discovery and reduce manual effort at scale. My expertise includes Node.js, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, Algolia, along with secure authentication using OIDC and OAuth2. I am passionate about backend architecture, platform ownership, and applied AI systems that deliver real product impact.
