About

Principal Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building large-scale, low-latency distributed systems across fintech, travel, and networking domains. Currently working as an Architect at redBus, designing high-performance gRPC services and AI-driven ranking systems powering core search and discovery. I’ve built sub-millisecond inventory ranking pipelines, Redis-backed learning-to-rank systems, and agentic AI platforms enabling LLM-based applications across teams. Strong background in systems programming (C/C++, Golang), networking (ex-Cisco packet forwarding), and backend platforms (Kafka, Spark, Redis, Cassandra). Recently focusing on Agentic ecosystem, with active development on Google ADK and its memory layers, also enabling agents across different teams. I enjoy solving hard performance problems, designing scalable architectures, and mentoring engineers.
