What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can design scalable distributed backends, improve latency/reliability, and ship production-ready services. I want ownership over event-driven systems and practical use of AI to automate developer and operational workflows.

I’m a Software Development Engineer - II who designs and scales config-driven distributed workflows for real-world operations. I focus on reliability, tenant isolation, and fast, versioned rollouts that teams can operate confidently.

At GreyOrange, I architected and scaled distributed workflows across 15+ client deployments—introducing per-client feature toggles and isolated tenant environments. I developed rack tiering and prioritization strategies, reducing bot movement by 25% and improving rack selection efficiency.

I’ve also driven meaningful performance and correctness gains through caching and event-driven architecture. By implementing TTL-based cache lifecycle management and Kafka-driven in-memory caching, I reduced stale rack retention scenarios by 90% and cut workflow execution latency by 30% by removing synchronous external API calls.

Previously at Paytm, I built backend services that supported 110K+ daily users, strengthened authentication and rate limiting to reduce invalid traffic by 35%, and improved discovery for cashless healthcare entities. I enjoy using AI to automate engineering workflows—building Claude-powered automation skills and integrating Gemini LLM with prompt pipelines to reach 90% accuracy.
