What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused role where I can own AI/LLM features end-to-end—building low-latency, reliable systems with strong observability, cost controls, and opportunities to mentor and improve engineering practices.

I’m a Software Development Engineer II who builds production-grade AI features—from LLM integration to full-stack experiences. With a B.Tech in Computer Science, I’ve focused on shipping systems that balance performance, cost, and reliability.

In my most recent role, I helped teams deliver fast employer-facing workflows by building Angular + Django modules and APIs. I also led a company-wide Django-to-Jinja migration across 40+ modules, cutting page load from ~1000ms to <200ms (5x), and reduced API response times by 40–60% through query optimization, Celery/Redis offloading, and caching.

Earlier, I led SalesGPT for e-commerce merchants, owning the full lifecycle from product discussions to Azure deployment. I implemented prompt engineering, context management, and cost optimization that reduced OpenAI API costs by 40%, while moving LLM inference to async pipelines using Celery/Redis and building ETL ingestion for fast AI retrieval.

I enjoy system design that holds up in production: unified views across multiple services, Elasticsearch-based matching, SSE streaming, and strong observability with Datadog/Sentry/Logz.io. I mentor engineers on async patterns, DB optimization, and API design, and I bring a pragmatic, measurement-driven mindset to every delivery.
