## About

```text
At Nykaa, I architected and developed One-Nykaa-Ocean, a LangGraph-based multi-agent analytics platform for SQL generation, reasoning, visualization, and conversational analytics. I also built a real-time streaming backend that shares incremental updates while maintaining conversational state across sessions.

On One-Nykaa-Ocean, I developed governance for secure AI-generated queries, including role-based access control, column masking, and row-level security. I also created a metadata retrieval pipeline combining governance-aware filtering, semantic search, and caching.

Previously at Publicis Sapient, I worked on event-driven microservices for a health app, processing more than 100K daily transactions. I optimized Kafka pipelines to reduce message latency by 40% and refactored ETL jobs handling more than 5M daily records.
