What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead the architecture and delivery of production Python and full-stack platforms, mentor engineers, and partner closely with stakeholders on complex business-critical systems.

I've led Sonicflow’s evolution since 2018, first at Technicolor and now at Scryptic Media within the Streamland Media group. I lead the platform’s move from Angular JS and Django to React and FastAPI while keeping the live editorial service running.

I design FastAPI microservices, REST APIs, authentication and authorisation, message-bus services, sync agents, data models, and API contracts across Docker, Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, and MongoDB. I also build React modules and lead code reviews, HLD/LLD analysis, estimation, sprint planning, and daily scrums with post-production stakeholders.

Earlier, I delivered real-time network analytics for Reliance Jio, provisioning and factory systems for HP, and telecom applications for Alcatel-Lucent. Across 20 years in software engineering, I’ve led teams, mentored engineers, and delivered production Python systems from requirements through release.
