Senior full-stack/backend engineer building AI-enabled cloud systems that cut effort, cost, and latency.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack / Backend Engineer with 6 years of experience across IoT, e-commerce, and fintech. I thrive on taking complex requirements—especially AI and enterprise constraints—and turning them into reliable, measurable production systems.
At Deloitte, I architected an AI-powered compliance system for a global automotive OEM using on-premises LLMs. I led design and delivery of decision-matrix automation from change requests, projecting 40-70% effort reduction per CR, and I’m currently in the validation phase.
I also led a 5-person team through a full Azure-to-AWS serverless migration in 3-4 months, re-architecting to Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, and IoT SiteWise. The outcomes were estimated at 30-40% infra cost reduction and 40-60% reduction in data-transfer and API processing costs.
Previously at SUGAR Cosmetics, I implemented Redis caching (ElastiCache) to cut API response times from 1.2s to 100ms across 150K-400K DAU, and I built core commerce workflows like guest checkout and a product reviews system with async pipelines and a React internal dashboard. Across roles, my focus stays the same: deliver fast, automate where it matters, and optimize performance end-to-end.
