Database-systems software engineer building low-latency backend and reliable data infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a database-systems software engineer with 2.5 years building reliable, low-latency backend and data infrastructure. I’ve reduced p99 latency from 150ms to 18ms through lock-free concurrency design, and I’ve operated a 1.3B-events/day ingestion tier at 99.9% SLO on AWS. I care deeply about correctness under failure, measurable performance, and data quality that holds up in production.
At SciEncephalon, I built a checkpoint/resume framework for multi-stage data pipelines with typed schema contracts, deterministic replay, and automated end-to-end validation—raising automated coverage from 0% to 85% while cutting manual intervention 65%. I instrumented microservices with OpenTelemetry distributed tracing to isolate and remove a concurrency bottleneck in the token-streaming layer, improving throughput and lowering P99 latency under identical load. I also integrated a FAISS vector index into a RAG pipeline with retrieval-quality evaluations (recall@k and rubric-based review), cutting off-context answers by 22% versus the baseline.
Before that, at KuppiSmart Solutions, I architected a gRPC prediction API using Spring Boot and Protobuf, serving 100k+ daily requests with service-layer overhead under 50ms and reducing schema-break incidents 70% via CI/CD schema-diff gates. At Brane Group, I replaced a mutex queue producer serialization with a lock-free MPSC ring buffer and redesigned an ingest service using an epoll-based non-blocking I/O reactor to sustain 8,000+ concurrent connections. My professional ethos is simple: design for failure, measure everything (including latency and recall), and turn production lessons into durable systems like runbooks and replayable workflows.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Software Engineer, Platform Reliability
SciEncephalon AI
May 2025 - Dec 2025 (7 months)
Built a checkpoint/resume framework for multi-stage data pipelines, increasing automated coverage from 0% to 85% and cutting manual intervention by 65%, adopted as a standard by three teams. Instrumented microservices with OpenTelemetry to remove a token-streaming contention bottleneck and integrated a FAISS vector index into a RAG pipeline, reducing off-context answers by 22%.
Software Engineer, Data Platform
KuppiSmart Solutions
Jun 2023 - May 2024 (11 months)
Architected a gRPC prediction API with Spring Boot and Protobuf serving 100k+ daily requests with <50ms overhead, and reduced production schema-break incidents by 70% using CI/CD schema-diff gates. Built AWS Apache Spark ETL with ingestion-boundary schema validation and improved proactive failure detection by reducing Kafka consumer data-quality MTTD from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes.
Software Engineer, High-Scale Backend
Brane Group
Jul 2022 - May 2023 (10 months)
Replaced a shared mutex queue with a lock-free MPSC ring buffer, dropping p99 latency from 150ms to 18ms, and rewrote the ingest server using an epoll-based non-blocking I/O reactor to sustain 8,000+ concurrent connections at stable tail latency. Served as primary on-call for a 1.3B-events/day ingestion tier at 99.9% SLO on AWS, reducing customer-visible repeat incidents by 30% via post-incident r
