I build reliable backend platforms, distributed systems, and developer security tools.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Branch International, I build backend platform systems for a high-volume fintech Rails monolith. I've shipped Redis coordination, Kafka ingestion, PgBouncer pooling, high-concurrency caching, feature flags, and RabbitMQ delayed delivery.
My work has eliminated distributed-lock races and Redis cleanup work, reduced PostgreSQL connection errors to zero, and enabled sub-millisecond feature-flag updates without redeploys. I work across Go, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Kubernetes, and AWS.
I also created LeakFerret, an open-source Rust secret scanner with 8k+ downloads, and built Conversify, a real-time RAG messaging platform. Previously at Microsoft, I modernized an internal campaign-management UI, reducing clicks by 70% and improving page-load speed by 50%.
