Mar 2022 - Present

Founding Software Engineer / Convai

Designed REST APIs and gRPC streaming services for real-time conversational AI. Owned early GCP infrastructure, autoscaling, stability and performance enhancements, Stripe subscriptions, and enterprise on-premise deployments.

  • Built core services powering real-time voice and text interactions at scale.
  • Designed the payment architecture for usage-based billing and secure checkout flows supporting millions in transaction value.
  • Successfully deployed GPU-enabled environments for enterprise accounts.
  • Co-built React creator-facing tools and integrations used across the product.
  • Helped with data processing and training for the in-house NeuroSync model powering character facial expressions.
May 2021 - Mar 2022

Systems Engineer / Tata Consultancy Services

Developed Azure infrastructure solutions and internal automation tools for enterprise operations, with a focus on compute provisioning, networking, identity, reporting, and resource tracking.

Jan 2021 - Mar 2021

Software Developer Intern / BNP Paribas

Built full-stack features for an internal invoice management platform using Angular, C#, and SQL Server.

systems, ai, and product work

Compact notes on the work that best reflects how I think: system design, technical depth, and useful products.

ai infrastructure

Durable AI Agent Workflow Platform

A production-style platform that runs AI tasks as durable workflows. Hand-built execution engine with commit-before-execute steps, retry/backoff, idempotency keys for effectively-once side effects, and a crash-recovery sweeper. Adds human-in-the-loop approval gates, OpenTelemetry tracing to Jaeger, a cost/latency dashboard, and an automated eval harness across a benchmark suite.

GPT-2 from Scratch with LoRA + Speculative Decoding

Upgrading a from-scratch 124M GPT-2 style PyTorch implementation into a fuller AI-systems project. The architecture, training loop, and HuggingFace weight loader are in place; LoRA fine-tuning, tokenizer work, validation runs, and speculative decoding are actively under development.

Work Buddy - Workstream Control Agent

A multi-agent system (Google ADK) that turns messy project context - meeting notes, Slack, Jira, repo state - into an auditable execution ledger. Specialist sub-agents extract tasks, decisions, and blockers, reconcile duplicates across sources, and draft Jira/Slack/PR/email updates, with a human-in-the-loop approval gate before any external write, secret redaction throughout, and the same tools exposed over an MCP server. Built for the Google & Kaggle AI Agents Intensive capstone.

Violent Crowd Behaviour Detection

Trained a C3D model on the ViolentFlow dataset to classify violent versus non-violent behaviour in crowd footage. The work was written up and published as a paper.

notes, experiments, and technical essays

I keep longer-form technical writing on Medium, including older computer vision and machine learning notes. This section can later surface selected essays directly.

let's build systems people can actually depend on

I am open to senior software engineering conversations around AI platforms, cloud-native products, real-time systems, and product-minded engineering teams.
