I build scalable, high-performance backend systems and reliable cloud infrastructure.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built scalable systems across Phased AI, Artizen, AptlyLabs (formerly VoxxUp), and Accubits Technologies. My work focuses on high-performance REST APIs, robust database architecture, system design, and LLM-powered backend solutions.
I work extensively with Python, FastAPI, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, React, and AWS, building maintainable applications and reliable deployment workflows. I also implement CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, testing, and code-review practices that support performance and quality.
I'm deeply involved in researching, designing, and refining system architecture, and I mentor junior engineers in their development workflows. I’ve also published two small open-source projects, including a GNU/Linux text editor built with GTK and Rust.
