What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can own distributed services end-to-end, build event-driven pipelines with Kafka, and apply GenAI tooling in production. I want strong engineering culture, clear ownership, and measurable impact on reliability and performance.

I’m a senior backend engineer with 6+ years at ElasticRun across two product lines, where I built and operated high-traffic systems from initial design through production and product sunset in 2025.

At ElasticRun, I owned core finance and distribution workflows for a rural B2B FMCG platform with ~₹200Cr+ monthly GMV and 10K+ DAUs. I led the pricing engine, partner/distributor financial workflows, and an automated bank-reconciliation pipeline that replaced a daily manual finance-ops process across multiple bank accounts.

Most recently on Velocity (ElasticRun’s middle-mile freight & vehicle-contract platform), I’ve owned the vehicle-contract lifecycle end-to-end and shipped a Python services layer plus a Go service with versioned APIs and OpenAPI-driven contract testing. I also built Kafka consumer pipelines to ingest partner events, normalize platform state, trigger trip creation and compliance gating, and support incentive and invoice posting.

I’m especially proud of my GenAI integration work: I shipped a “Velocity Assistant,” an in-house LLM ops agent with 25+ typed tools across trips, drivers, finance, ops, and vendor domains, powered on Gemini 2.5 Flash. I bring a production mindset—performance tuning, async/background processing, and strong engineering hygiene—while mentoring teammates on Python internals, Go service patterns, integrations, and SQL performance.
