About

I’m a backend-heavy Full-Stack Engineer who thrives on building high-performance, scalable systems that don’t falter under real-world loads. At Ola Krutrim, I engineered mission-critical services like the External Integration Service—powering 5M+ users and handling 80K+ RPM with millisecond response times—and a multi-tenant Scheduling Integration Service using FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, Redis, PostgreSQL, and a distributed Dkron engine. I also played a foundational role in building Kruti, the AI assistant platform, shaping its authentication, streaming pipelines, and core frontend architecture. Before Ola, I spent three years at Kristal.AI leading platform revamps and building high-impact systems, including a PDF Reports Generator capable of processing 150K-row tasks at high speed. I delivered user-facing experiences across onboarding, investments, analytics, and risk workflows—moving an entire legacy platform from AngularJS to a modern Next.js SSR ecosystem. I love solving hard engineering problems—distributed systems, scheduling engines, async backend architectures, and products that scale to millions. Constantly curious, relentlessly hands-on, and driven by clean design and real impact. If it challenges my engineering instincts, I’m in.

=> EIS – External Integration Service:
Developed a unified integration layer to manage agent and widget integrations across internal
providers (OlaCabs, OlaMoney, OlaFoods) as well as third-party external providers(Composio).
Implemented secure user-provider authentication workflows and access token management using
FastAPI and async SQLAlchemy ORM, backed by PostgreSQL.Integrated a Redis caching layer with
provider-defined token expiry to optimize token retrieval and minimize database calls.
Designed to support use cases like LLM Agents and MCP/API servers requiring valid user access
tokens before executing downstream actions (e.g., placing orders, booking cabs).
Built to serve a user base of over 5 million users and 10K+ DAUs, efficiently handling 80K+ API
requests per minute (RPM) with a 99.9% success rate and millisecond-level response times.
=> SIS – Scheduling Integration Service:
Engineered a robust scheduling system that enables tenants to configure and trigger scheduled
callbacks to their services, ensuring precise execution of time-based workflows.
Developed multi-tenant configuration support with flexible scheduling and timezone awareness,
utilizing FastAPI and async SQLAlchemy ORM backed by PostgreSQL.
Integrated a Dkron-based distributed scheduling engine to orchestrate jobs with high reliability and
execution control.
Designed to support use cases such as internal cron job management (e.g., hourly push of metrics
data to Tableau dashboards), and intelligent task automation via a Scheduler LLM Agent
e.g., Book a cab to the office on weekdays at 9:30 AM, or Deliver daily stock news at 9:00 AM

I have authored a PDF Reports Generator project for my organization, which plays a crucial role in our Fin-tech domain.
The application I designed, leveraging the Next.js framework of React.js, adeptly manages document tasks, accommodating up to 150k rows. With response times varying from 100ms to 3 min, contingent on the request body size, it ensures efficient document processing.
In addition to the PDF Reports Generator, I have contributed to various other aspects of our organization’s platforms.
I implemented the user interface for features like portfolio comparison, portfolio health check, and the account dashboard. These features were prepared in a modular and reusable manner using the Next.js framework.
Furthermore, I led a team of 2-3 individuals in revamping our client-facing platform. The original platform, built with AngularJS, was redesigned and rebuilt using Next.js for server-side rendering (SSR), Ant-D as a React UI library, Redux-Saga for state management, and SCSS for styling.
Through these projects and responsibilities, I have demonstrated my ability to develop and maintain impactful front-end solutions while effectively leading a team and leveraging various technologies and tools to meet organizational requirements in the Fintech domain.
Additionally, I actively worked on a platform utilized by our compliance, funds, and trades management teams. This platform was implemented using JavaScript, AngularJS, and HTML/CSS.
To enhance customer behavior management and customer service, I implemented MixPanel for customer behavior tracking and Zendesk for customer support management.

> Revamped Client facing platform with the team.The application
was in AngularJS which was revamped and built using NextJS(ReactJs
The framework which provides SSR), Redux-Saga(State Management for React), and SCSS.
> PDF Reports Generator: I have developed a project for my
organization called a PDF reports generator. What it does is it
provides a base64 version of PDF with provided data to it.
Basically, it’s a Node JS application made using the Next.js
framework of ReactJs. ReactJs help to create beautiful and
customized templates for PDF. The project provides APIs
which can be called with the required data to render in PDF.
As my current organization is in a Fintech Domain where
client reports are a very important and required feature, this
turned out a very useful project.
