What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend roles focused on scalable content/media systems, event-driven architectures, and opportunities to improve performance, observability, and team collaboration in a growth-oriented engineering team.

I am a backend software engineer with hands-on experience building scalable content and media processing systems, optimizing databases, and implementing event-driven workflows. I have delivered measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and observability across production services.

At 314e corporation I redesigned microservices and streaming APIs, doubled query performance for key workloads, automated archival and metadata enrichment with Temporal workflows, and modernized analytics dashboards—driving adoption and reducing errors. Earlier internships at ISRO and Icomply strengthened my real-time telemetry, anomaly detection, and secure audit-trail capabilities.

I value pragmatic engineering, data integrity, and clear system observability; I enjoy solving complex backend problems that improve developer productivity and end-user experience, and I seek opportunities to lead impactful backend initiatives.
