Mukul Agarwal — Co-Founder

I’m a backend-focused software engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance distributed systems and AI-powered products across startups and large-scale enterprises. Currently, I specialize in designing data-intensive systems, microservices architectures, and AI-driven backend platforms. I’ve worked across the spectrum—from early-stage startup environments (as a CTO & Co-founder) to enterprise AI systems at Adobe—giving me a strong balance of ownership, scalability thinking, and production-grade engineering. At my startup, I architected and built a distributed analytics platform handling 500M+ events/month, optimized large-scale PostgreSQL systems (3TB+), and designed event-driven, fault-tolerant microservices with sub-500ms query performance. I also led and mentored a team of 5 software engineers, driving architecture decisions, conducting design reviews, and ensuring high-quality, scalable system development. Previously at Adobe, I worked on AI agents and LLM-based systems, building multi-step workflows for classification and knowledge retrieval using modern AI stacks like LangChain and RAG architectures, while ensuring production reliability and low latency. I bring hands-on experience as both an individual contributor and a team lead, making me a strong fit for Senior Software Engineer and Lead Engineer roles, where I can contribute to system design, mentor engineers, and drive end-to-end backend ownership. Core Expertise: Backend & Distributed Systems: Microservices, event-driven architecture, high-scale system design Databases & Performance: PostgreSQL optimization, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis caching AI Systems: LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, production AI services Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Docker, CI/CD, scalable deployments Languages & Frameworks: Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Node.js (Express) What I Focus On: Building low-latency, high-throughput backend systems Designing scalable AI-powered applications Solving complex data and infrastructure problems at scale Leading teams and driving strong engineering practices
