Software engineer with ~3 years at Flipkart (Walmart) building and operating large-scale distributed backend systems serving high-throughput production workloads.

I’m a strong generalist engineer who enjoys owning problems end-to-end and working across:

       • Backend / Distributed Systems
       • Applied AI / ML (Agentic Systems, RAG)
       • Big Data / Data Engineering
       • Infrastructure Optimization

Some systems I built or owned in production:

     • Led revamp of Flipkart’s Offers platform → redesigned service architecture & introduced Kafka, reducing latency by 75% & increasing opt-ins by 50%
     • Built Rewards System from scratch (Java, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes) → delivered ~400% ROI
     • Designed Seller Penalization system (Kafka, Spark, Elasticsearch) → reduced product returns by 10%
     • Optimized large MySQL clusters → disk usage 91% → 30%, CPU 17% → 5%, latency ↓ 50%
     • Built price recommendation pipelines (Spark/Scala) → adoption grew 165%

I’ve also handled real production challenges including database scaling, data-center migrations, and recovery of a deleted production database with zero data loss.

Interested in Backend Software Engineering or AI Engineering roles. Please feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to chat and discuss further.
