What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Backend / Full Stack & Applied AI roles where I can build scalable, secure systems and safety-first AI-enabled applications—owning platform features, APIs, and high-performance pipelines while collaborating with strong engineering teams.

I’m a polyglot software developer with about 6 years of experience writing scalable code, hiring/managing teams, and using AI to build AI-enabled applications. As a Founding Engineer at Craze (YC S22), I owned Human-In-The-Loop safety for agent tool-calls, extended agent integrations via Composio, and built a Skills Marketplace for actions like GitHub workflows, web search, PDF generation, and MCP integrations.

I also built platform features like custom webhooks, external agent triggers, and messaging channels (email & slack), plus an ATS from scratch that was the most demanded feature and helped onboard larger clients (increase revenue by about 40%). Previously, I led Fulcrum at Cantilever Labs—an AI-enabled interviews/placements platform—implemented an online executor for 10K+ concurrent submissions, and leveraged a hybrid AWS/GCP serverless setup that saved up to 60% on cloud bills while scaling the team from 3 to 9 people.
