About

I’m a back-end and AI-focused software engineer with experience building scalable systems, architecting AI-powered applications, and taking products from 0 to production. I’ve worked across early-stage startups (0→1) and scaling companies (1→100) like Zania.ai, Eightfold.ai, and Supaclear, focusing on building and shipping impactful features quickly and reliably. Over the years, I’ve: - Led development of payment systems, marketplaces, and AI-driven search experiences. - Built and scaled infrastructure to handle 1000+ RPS using technologies like Docker, AWS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and ELK. - Designed LLM and semantic-based systems for real-time recommendations, digital salesrooms, and intelligent search. - Worked with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Python-based CDK to bring AI and infra together seamlessly. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend engineering and AI — turning complex ideas into reliable, scalable systems. Let’s connect if you're working on something interesting!
