What I'm looking for

I'm looking to architect and lead teams building scalable Python, AI-enabled, cloud-native platforms, with ownership of system design, backend delivery, engineering quality, and team growth.

I'm currently architecting Python microservices for Ascendion's AAVA AI platform, guiding the architecture and code structure of core services and improving their maintainability.

At AstroSure AI, I led 10–12 engineers and expanded the backend from 18 to 100+ APIs. I introduced agentic development workflows, built LLM integrations with Gemini and OpenAI using a Neo4j knowledge graph, and deployed microservices on AWS EKS.

Previously at Lemongrass and Fidelity Investments, I led backend teams delivering migration and network-automation platforms. My work reduced migration time by over 50%, manual intervention by 80%, and manual work for network engineers by 80%.
