What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build high-impact backend, AI, and data products, solving complex scale, performance, and platform challenges with collaborative engineering teams.

I've built and led backend, AI, and data products for Angel One, Hypersonix.ai, Motorola Mobility, and an AI stealth startup. I bring 9+ years of engineering experience and 3+ years leading teams.

At Angel One, I lead five engineers and deliver customer segmentation, LLM integrations, data products, and critical backend services. I designed and deployed Tollgate, Permissions Audit Service, and Clickstream 2.0 at an estimated 50k QPS with low latency.

At Hypersonix.ai, I architected Competitor360 and delivered Pricing Intelligence, Catalog Manager, Price Executor, API Gateway, and User Management Platform. I also developed backend systems processing millions of transactions and optimized the JARVIX NLP product.

Earlier at Motorola Mobility, I led the global device-update SUP portal, migrated roughly 30K lines from AngularJS to Angular5, and built JavaFX and Android backup and OS-upgrade solutions. My work has earned Employee Excellence, Star Performer, and Excellence awards.
