I build scalable distributed data, AI, and backend platforms that improve reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built high-scale distributed systems across Sense, 314e Corporation, and ShareChat, improving reliability, analytics performance, and infrastructure efficiency. At Sense, I resolved recurring production failures, stabilized Kafka processing, optimized Solr and MySQL, and built observability for candidate matching.
At 314e, I led a distributed lakehouse migration that reduced pipeline overhead by 40% and infrastructure costs by 30%, while enabling sub-second healthcare analytics. I also built an AI-powered MCP server that orchestrates Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to turn natural-language questions into optimized SQL.
At ShareChat, I improved CDN efficiency by 15%, reduced average start time by 25ms, led a zero-downtime cloud migration that cut server costs by ₹4.5 crore per month, and designed systems that removed roughly 400 TB of data monthly. I enjoy solving performance, scale, multi-tenant isolation, and platform reliability problems.
