I build high-throughput distributed backend systems and data pipelines at enterprise scale.

At Sense, I drive architecture for a multi-tenant ATS integration platform and own distributed data systems serving enterprise customers. I built a pipeline processing 2B+ events per month with p95 latency below five minutes, an asynchronous writeback pipeline that improved latency 10x, and LLM-powered agentic workflows for configuration migrations.

Previously at HireVue and Goibibo, I built ATS integrations, migrated processing to distributed Celery workers, developed Apache Flink data pipelines, and delivered high-scale inventory services handling 100K+ bookings daily and millions of searches.

I've spent 13 years solving distributed systems challenges across Python, Java, AWS, microservices, and data-intensive platforms. I enjoy setting technical direction, improving reliability and performance, mentoring engineers, and resolving complex production issues.
