What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable software platforms spanning IoT, energy analytics, AI-assisted workflows, and high-throughput backend systems while leading engineering standards and solving meaningful production challenges.

At CarbonMinus, I build AI-assisted energy auditing and large-scale IoT telemetry systems that turn raw device data into real-time consumption reports. I re-architected MQTT and HTTP ingestion pipelines for sub-second processing and cut analytics dashboard load time by about 70% through an InfluxDB migration.

I've led a team of six engineers, modernized a six-year-old codebase for AI coding workflows, and delivered zero-downtime on-premises deployments for enterprise clients including ONGC, IOCL, and Kirloskar. Earlier, I migrated a legacy PHP system from GCP to AWS and rebuilt it as a Django and React platform.

As a freelance developer for 9PicAI, I engineered high-throughput architecture for a B2C photo-sharing platform, including multi-gateway payments and an image-processing pipeline handling 50,000 images per hour. I also create open-source Python tools, including whybroke and influx mcp.
