Backend Engineer · Distributed Systems · Scalable APIs

Professional Summary

Backend engineer focused on distributed, database-backed systems and production reliability. Reduced a data synchronization workflow from 15 minutes to 4 seconds by replacing cron polling with message-queue processing, and took part in the root cause analysis of a production database outage. Experience spans low-latency WebSocket pipelines, offline-first background services, role-based access control, payment-webhook verification, and self-hosted infrastructure, built mainly with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL.

Experience

Founding Software Engineer

Krishora Technologies · Mumbai, India

May 2026 – Present
  • Engineered a low-latency Python processing pipeline integrating Pipecat, Exotel WebSockets, model inference, and CUDA-accelerated processing, achieving approximately 700 ms turnaround.
  • Built the Node.js/PM2 service router for Sevak AI, using Qdrant and the nomic-embed-text embedding model for retrieval.
  • Deployed and maintained infrastructure including Dograh, Mailcow, Nginx, Cloudflare SSL, and a ProGuard-protected Expo application.

Software Developer

Cyber Intelligence and Research Lab (CIARL) · Thane, India

Aug 2025 – May 2026
NDA-bound role; limited details disclosed
  • Developed Kotlin/Java Android background services with encrypted SQLite queues to prevent field data loss during intermittent connectivity.
  • Implemented secure backend integrations for managed environments.
  • Developed React/PostgreSQL applications with authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and user management.
  • Built a legal-domain RAG pipeline with document ingestion, semantic retrieval, and citation-backed responses.
  • Developed Matrix-based real-time communication applications supporting chat, voice, and video.

Software Development Engineer Intern

Sumeru Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd. · Bengaluru, India

Aug 2024 – Feb 2025
⚡ Performance Milestone: 15-min cron reduced to 4-second sync (~99.5%)
  • Replaced polling-based cron workflows with the Flexbase message-queue service, reducing synchronization time from 15 minutes to 4 seconds (approximately 99.5%).
  • Participated in the root cause analysis of a production database crash, helping identify that a payment-related cron job repeatedly retried failed requests, producing simultaneous request bursts that overwhelmed the database.
  • Migrated legacy PHP functionality to JavaScript and TypeScript; developed and tested backend APIs using Deno Edge Functions and Postman.
  • Debugged and resolved Deno/TypeScript type-inference problems.
  • Investigated Drizzle ORM integration with Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS).
  • Led a team of four in evaluating Novu against a custom notification-system implementation.
