I build high-performance Python backends and event-driven cloud platforms.

Message

At PRM Fincon Services, I build backend systems for financial insights and risk analysis platforms. I architected concurrent statement-extraction pipelines that reduced processing time by 50-60% and mentored two junior developers through a ground-up data-processing rewrite.

I design secure FastAPI services with Redis caching, JWT role-based access controls, RabbitMQ messaging, PostgreSQL, and AWS storage. I also built a unified EFK logging layer that reduced debugging time across distributed services by 70%, and raised automated test coverage from zero to 80% using pytest and pytest-asyncio.

My work spans microservices, streaming, cloud infrastructure, and practical AI workflows—from Kafka-based analytics sustaining zero-loss writes at 400 RPS to offline LLM semantic search using pgvector and Ollama.

Earlier, I built Python REST APIs and high-throughput database interactions for e-commerce, and developed microservice endpoints and ML-driven recommendations for a live video-streaming platform.
