Seasoned full-stack engineer and tech co-founder specializing in distributed systems, backend optimization, and scalable platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a seasoned full-stack engineer and two-time tech co-founder with 15+ years designing, building, and scaling full-stack systems across diverse stacks and environments.
I architect and deliver end-to-end platforms with a focus on distributed systems, backend optimization, security, and cost efficiency. I built an email intelligence platform processing 80,000+ emails daily (Puppeteer screenshotting microservice and Chrome automation extension) and scaled the system to 500,000 emails/day while cutting operating costs from $10,000/mo to $1,500/mo.
At GoDaddy I engineered an advanced search engine for Afternic's 22M domain portfolio and rebuilt an ETL pipeline, improving runtime from 3 hours to 30 minutes using multi-threading, map-reduce, SIMD techniques and alternate regex engines. I’ve launched and scaled platforms handling 10,000+ doctors or 10,000 orders/day and reduced hosting costs by 80% while driving response times to sub-100ms through full-stack tuning.
I contribute to security and hardening (iptables, fail2ban, kernel tuning), have been accepted to Google Summer of Code, reached ACM ICPC national finals, won multiple hackathons, and enjoy mentoring and technical leadership. I focus on building reliable, fault-tolerant, and cost-effective production systems.
