What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, high-scale backend, distributed-systems, or AI products where I can own real-time systems, improve performance and correctness, and continue growing through challenging engineering work.

At Piramal Finance, I built an in-house AI voice platform that reduced telephony costs by 50%+ and developed a real-time Node.js voice-calling service connecting custom SIP dialers to streaming AI models. I also improved audio streaming with 20ms packet pacing and consolidated three microservices into one container image through a rewritten Kubernetes CI/CD pipeline.

Previously at Fireplace.gg, I scaled backend systems handling 50K+ requests and 100M+ events daily, improving reliability, observability, database performance, and incident response. I enjoy building fault-tolerant distributed systems, demonstrated through transaction execution and event-processing projects using queues, workers, PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets, retries, circuit breakers, and backpressure controls.
