IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a backend software engineer with hands-on experience building scalable search, discovery, and integrations platforms for high-throughput products.
At Wayground I led migrations of 120M+ records to a dedicated search service, built third-party integration SDKs with full OAuth2 flows, and optimized AI safety and evaluation pipelines to reduce costly LLM calls.
I have driven latency and throughput improvements—cutting core API latency from 4s to 1.2s—and executed vector-database evaluations and HQRL backend architecture for large-scale content discovery and automated ingestion.
I bring strong experience across Go, Python, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Redis, AWS, Airflow, and vector DBs, and I focus on pragmatic engineering that balances performance, reliability, and operational simplicity.
