## About

```text
At Whatfix, I’m engineering a canary version management platform for staged product rollouts, with services that shift traffic across cohorts and support fast rollback. I also built a content crawler and indexing pipeline that powers agentic search over crawled content for 100K+ users.

At Samsung Research Institute, I owned backend architecture and operations for an ad-serving notification and event-delivery platform processing 50M+ events daily. I improved query throughput by about 40% and reduced P95 API latency from four seconds to under 300 ms; I also led and mentored four backend engineers.
