I build AI-powered growth products, distributed systems, and customer-facing software.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Zoca, I lead engineering for the Discovery funnel across 1,200+ businesses, connecting keyword intelligence, customer websites, AI content workflows, and a voice agent to turn organic traffic into bookings.
I designed a geo-aware keyword pipeline that improved keyword correctness from 50% to 95% and reduced generation time from five minutes to under two. I also shipped an AEO and Local SEO Visibility Dashboard and built LLM-driven workflows with 99%+ successful execution.
Previously at Crustdata, I built REST APIs that cut endpoint latency by 90% and developed large-scale web crawling and data-collection pipelines using Python, Django, Redis, and Celery. At Capital One, I built an AWS microservices pipeline for customer-support data using Python, Snowflake, Kafka, S3, and OpenSearch.
I enjoy owning products from definition and architecture through launch, monitoring, and iteration, using React, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, and AI-native development workflows.
