I build production AI agents, large-scale data systems, and cloud infrastructure.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At XHAWK, I build the production agent harness and infrastructure for a cloud-hosted SDLC, running implementation, planning, documentation, and review agents in Modal sandboxes. I reduced per-task agent token consumption by 60%+ using code intelligence over tree-sitter ASTs and merkle trees.
Previously at SUNDIAL, I designed Spark ETL pipelines processing 10B+ events per day for enterprise clients including OpenAI and PayPal. I also built a warehouse-connected data analytics agent and forecasting services in Go and Python, while reducing BigQuery costs by 60% and improving semantic search accuracy by 60%.
I've also built full-stack CRM systems, improved chatbot latency at Indeed, modeled digital-wallet growth at PayPal, and contribute to the SigNoz MCP Server.
