What I'm looking for

Seeking a remote Lead/Staff/Principal Backend Engineer role where I can architect distributed systems at scale. Open to global remote opportunities. Interested in companies building high-impact products with a strong engineering culture. Passionate about search, event-driven architectures, and AI-integrated backends. Love mentoring engineers and driving technical direction across teams.

I’m a Lead Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building and scaling distributed systems, enterprise search platforms, and AI-powered RAG solutions. I specialize in event-driven architectures, large-scale backend systems, information retrieval, and relevance engineering—turning complex data into measurable improvements for users and models.

Currently, I lead a team of 6 engineers at Simpplr, owning backend architecture for a high-throughput, event-driven ingestion platform supporting 50+ connectors, processing 10M+ documents per day and 20M+ vector embeddings per day. I designed a resilient distributed throttling system for high availability, architected an end-to-end RAG pipeline with hybrid search, and advanced relevance engineering by tuning scoring and LTR models to improve relevance by ~30%—while driving engineering excellence through mentorship, design reviews, and practical problem-solving.
