about

I design production-grade systems that are observable, reliable, and ship fast.

Currently, I build and scale distributed systems that move billions of customer events daily. My work focuses on high-volume event ingestion, deep observability, and developing intelligent AI tooling—like MCP-based agents that translate natural language into complex SQL and data workflows.

My technical foundation is built on architecting distributed streaming pipelines and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ).

I’m a competitive programmer at heart—having solved 650+ DSA problems with a Global Rank of 200 on CodeChef. Whether it's winning Web-a-thon 2023 or maintaining 750+ GitHub contributions since 2025, I am obsessed with shipping reliable code, fast.

Zeotap

·Software Engineer
May 2025 — Present Bengaluru, IN
  • Implemented scalable request-response logging and observability for distributed streaming and batch pipelines using Pub/Sub and BigQuery.
  • Delivered 20+ partner integrations (Amazon DSP/AMC, StackAdapt, Zoho, Talon.One, YieldLabs) across ingestion and real-time pipelines for Zeotap's CDP.
  • Developed the Policy Lifecycle Engine enabling rule-based data routing — clients configure rules and prioritize delivery across downstream systems.
  • Built Integr8, an AI integration agent that scans developer documentation and auto-generates database configurations and test scripts — reducing setup time by 90%.
  • Built Doctor-Integr8 (internal AI tool / MCP + Slack bot) that converts natural language queries into complex SQL and returns insights on ingestion lifecycle and historical estimations.
  • Created automated Slack alerting pipelines detecting ingestion failures and RabbitMQ lag using Python and SQL.

·Software Engineer Intern
Jun 2024 — May 2025 Chandigarh, IN
  • Designed and developed the loan servicing and payment backend system from the ground up, with bank account onboarding/disconnection flows, recurring billing, and scheduled payment processing.
  • Developed a cache layer using Django, increasing tenant database performance by up to 40% and reducing database load during peak hours which improved database scalability.
  • Enhanced backend services by integrating third-party government APIs and orchestrating asynchronous workflows with Celery task queues and workers.
  • Optimized CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI) by trimming log output and enabling parallel pytest execution, resulting in 50–60% faster pipelines.
