Founding software engineer specializing in scalable backend systems and production-ready GenAI and fintech platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a founding software engineer with deep experience building scalable backend systems, SDKs, and production stacks for GenAI and fintech products. I have led architecture, performance optimization, and integrations that supported millions of API calls and high-throughput event processing.
At Portkey AI, I engineered Python and Node SDKs used for 2M+ monthly API calls, cut average latency from 30s to 6s with async architecture, reduced failures via optimized retries, and shipped SDK releases with 1.6M+ weekly downloads.
At Salt, I designed end-to-end system architecture on AWS, improved transaction throughput, reduced latency from 6s to 230ms, led a 5-member team driving $30M+ B2B FX transactions, and owned DevOps, compliance, and integrations including VAPT-GDPR and RBI-related approvals.
I prioritize measurable impact—optimizing performance, reliability, observability, and developer experience—and I enjoy mentoring communities and maintaining clear documentation and tooling to accelerate adoption and reduce incident triage times.
