Backend Software Engineer building scalable financial systems and GenAI workflows in Python/FastAPI.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an execution-driven Backend Software Engineer building scalable financial systems and GenAI-powered workflows in Python and FastAPI. In my current role, I spearheaded an end-to-end AI service for speech-to-text transcription and translation, benchmarking Fast Whisper for production and evaluating AWS S3 vs GCP GCS for cross-cloud economics.
I ship secure, high-throughput APIs that unblock enterprise operations. I’ve engineered ETL and async data pipelines that delivered a 20x increase in batch execution and a 95% reduction in latency, eliminated MariaDB N+1 bottlenecks using EXPLAIN/ANALYZE and CTEs, and modernized OCR with upgraded modules for text extraction, image transformation, and PII masking. I also own end-to-end integrations with Tier-1 financial partners using idempotent data contracts and CRON-driven async workers for event automation and anomaly detection—work recognized at the Global Fintech Festival 2025.
