India

Message

At AAYS Insights, I’m working on feature development for Mars snacking studio and the OnDemand AI Platform, a GenAI Q&A and report-generation platform.

At Kodewin Solutions, I consulted for startups in ecommerce and payments, data engineering, and observability. I worked on a marketplace solution and a high-volume streaming data engine, and built AI agents to support data engineers.

At KloudOne, I led a team of more than 30 on enterprise software design, cloud migration, CI/CD automation, and delivery. I also took part in pre-sales and was responsible for resource planning and development processes.

At PASS Consulting Corp, I worked on high-performance travel middleware handling up to 15 million transactions per day in production. I developed a client framework and web service client, and managed a project delivering six LCCs and four hotel adapters, personally developing three LCCs and two hotel adapters.
