At SHL (AMCAT), I take end-to-end ownership of shared platform capabilities in Golang, including migrating legacy candidate-listing APIs and bringing latency under 150ms.

I build reliable, scalable services for product-led SaaS environments, from asynchronous background services that resolve 504 Gateway Timeouts to event-driven AWS SNS/SQS integrations that decouple scheduling logic. I collaborate closely with Architecture, Security, AI Platform, and Product Engineering teams through technical design, code reviews, estimation, and Agile ceremonies.

I also integrated AI-powered development workflows by setting up a local MCP server and vector database, using Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to provide semantic context and cut debug time by 40%.

Previously at Accenture, I restructured a codebase around MVC and implemented RBAC middleware for highly available distributed systems. Outside work, I built a concurrent Flash Sale Engine with Golang, Redis, Kafka, Postgres, and Docker, along with a Semantic MCP Server using a custom RAG pipeline.
