I’m a Software Engineer Intern on Razorpay’s Backend Platform, focused on building reliable, high-throughput services and improving how teams operate in production. I combine strong backend fundamentals with platform thinking—APIs, messaging, and observability—so systems stay fast and resilient as they scale.

At Razorpay, I built an MCP server with 10+ operational tools powered by OpenAI APIs and an NLP query router, helping on-call engineers query audit logs in natural language and reducing incident triage from minutes to seconds. I also migrated 23M+ production configurations from a legacy PHP monolith to microservice-owned datastores using Trino-based ETL with progressive cutover and zero data loss.

I extended Watchtower by centralizing infrastructure events across deployments through high-throughput HTTP and Kafka ingestion pipelines, including dynamic configs, WAF policies, and A/B rollouts. I scaled subscription integration test coverage from 0% to 65% with service-level integration tests, and engineered mandate/token reconciliation workflows that resolved multiple PSE production incidents.

Earlier, as a Full Stack Intern at StackGuard, I built Go microservices with PostgreSQL and designed event-driven inter-service communication using Kafka and Go concurrency (goroutines, channels). I also shipped a GitHub App with OAuth-based authentication and React dashboards, and I’ve delivered production-style improvements through projects like BlogVerse—cutting Docker image size by 80% and adding AWS S3 media storage plus real-time SSE notifications.
