Vignesh N
@vigneshn
Staff Engineer building AI systems and production backend platforms with autonomy.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Lead and AI Systems Engineer with 8 years of experience shipping production systems across automotive R&D, edtech, fintech, and SaaS. I rebuilt two concurrent Mercedes-Benz R&D applications as the sole engineer, cutting page load time from 10 seconds to under 1 second.
Currently, I lead all engineering at Rextone Digital—designing AWS microservices, integrating LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek) into live production workflows, and operating WebSocket infrastructure at 10K+ concurrent connections. I thrive in lean, async teams where I can own architectural decisions end-to-end, deliver zero-downtime releases, and turn complex workflows into reliable, scalable platforms.
