At Best Buy India, I architected an LLM-powered post-purchase support platform serving 8M+ annual users. The support-routing system reduced agent handle time by 20% and drives an estimated $67.5M in revenue.

I built its customer-facing web and mobile experience with React, React Native, and Next.js, backed by Node.js services. I also designed a multi-agent AI system using Gemini via Vertex AI, with photo, video, live-streaming, and voice capabilities.

Previously at MFine, Novocura Tech Health Services, I led development of a Corporate Wallet project that onboarded 60+ corporates and increased daily active users by 47%. At HED Experts Pvt Ltd, I developed the Xcelerator platform using React JS and Elixir, Phoenix.
