I’m a principal backend engineer building compliance-first data platforms at massive scale.
What I'm looking for
I’m a principal backend engineer with 11 years of experience shipping production systems—from zero to enterprise SaaS—while keeping reliability, cost, and security non-negotiable.
Most recently, as a Founding Engineer at GoHeartBeat, I built a multi-source B2B analytics platform in 3 months to a working version and 6 months to production, growing to 6 clients and contributing to a $1M fundraise. I designed and shipped a compliance-first architecture that keeps raw data inside each client’s AWS environment, including a central orchestrator, lightweight in-account agents, and custom connectors for India-specific APIs.
Before that, at Whitehat Jr. (Byju’s), I stabilized an incident-ridden, loss-making product by restructuring 15 engineers into 3 squads and introducing a proactive engineering culture. I identified infrastructure scaling lag behind 90% of incidents, built a predictive scaling system, reduced incidents to near-zero in 3 months, and saved $120K/month through infrastructure, logging, and communications optimization—also leading the AWS to GCP migration for Whitehat Jr. and Toppr.
Earlier at Toppr (acquired by Byju’s), I built Toppr Answr from scratch to India’s #1 education platform and scaled it to 150M sessions/month, driving 184K organic leads/month and reducing compute costs by 90% through Golang. I also built microservices from scratch for Byju’s Future School and led an AWS audit that cut spend from $160K to $80K, and I’ve previously delivered automation, mobile ops tooling, and centralized security monitoring across 9,000 machines.
