What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full‑stack roles building scalable, data-driven systems and AI features where I can own impactful projects, improve performance and privacy, and work collaboratively on measurable product outcomes.

I am a software engineer specializing in TypeScript and Node.js, focused on building scalable, data-driven backend systems and AI-enabled features. At Urban Company I led PII data centralization, encrypting and migrating MongoDB collections of 12M+ records to stop misuse and meet IPO requirements.

I built a production-ready AI professional portrait generator that scaled to 50K partner profiles using Gemini and OpenAI image models, integrated voice-over text-to-translated-speech with OpenAI LLMs, and implemented WhatsApp flows and hub-selection features that improved onboarding and partner experience. I optimized a high-throughput bulk API with Redis cache to reduce response time by 63%, transitioned PAN verification to IDfy saving 60%, and designed Elasticsearch-backed APIs to surface real-time business metrics.

I enjoy owning end-to-end features, contributing to open source, and solving hard problems—evidenced by competitive programming ranks and production deployments. I look for roles where I can drive performance, privacy, and AI-driven product improvements in a collaborative, impact-oriented team.
