What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and own high-scale distributed systems, improve production reliability, and lead teams through strong engineering execution and AI-assisted development.

At Headout, I own the supply platform for inventory, pricing, and scheduling powering a marketplace that grew from 2.5K to 13K+ bookings a day. I've re-platformed 50K+ live pricing and inventory profiles with zero revenue loss, built validation protecting $80K–$120K per quarter, and reduced vendor launch turnaround from 26 days to 3 days.

Previously at Razorpay, I built Global Search enrichment and search APIs, improved search speed 3x, reduced Contact API P95 latency by 63%, and supported P0 payments-platform incident response under live customer impact.

I enjoy raising engineering standards through system design, production ownership, mentoring, incident readiness, and AI-assisted development workflows.
