I build distributed cloud backends and AI agent platforms that scale reliable, high-volume products.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Magicweave, I built a multi-tenant Game Backend-as-a-Service in Go with shared currency and plug-and-play game mechanics. I reworked the read path to cut p99 latency 4.3x and raise throughput per CPU 12.2x.
I’ve built and operated platforms across Azure and AWS, including a FastMCP server that enables AI agents to build directly on Magicweave. My work on Chessmate drove 4K+ downloads, 35% D1–D7 retention, a 40% lift in ad show rates, and a $0.90 eCPM increase.
Previously, I built tokenized payments at PayCrunch for 80,000+ monthly transactions and 50,000+ active users, and real-time multiplayer systems at Hitwicket supporting 10K+ daily matches. I work across Java, Spring Boot, Go, Python, distributed systems, APIs, reliability, and product-focused backend architecture.
