About
Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native platforms, and high-performance full-stack applications across fast-growing product companies.
Currently working at Interview Kickstart, where I build automation systems, scalable APIs, payment platforms, and internal tools that directly improve operational efficiency and business growth.
Some highlights from my journey:
- Revamped the core webinar registration architecture using Django, enabling multi-webinar registrations and improving webinar attendance by 20%+.
- Built automation workflows using Django REST, Celery, AWS Lambda, and EventBridge — saving $2K–$3K/day while achieving 99% synchronization accuracy.
- Developed secure payment and authentication systems powering 35%+ of company transactions using Next.js, Redux, AWS Cognito, and scalable backend services.
- Led end-to-end delivery of projects including referral automation systems and a Discord–Freshdesk integration bot with CI/CD pipelines.
- Consistently delivered 1.5× engineering velocity by effectively leveraging AI-assisted development workflows using Cursor and ChatGPT.
Previously at Vedasis Analytics
- Improved backend performance by 60% through Redis integration, multithreading, and database query optimization.
- Refactored the frontend architecture using reusable components and custom hooks, improving maintainability and development speed.
- Reduced post-deployment production issues by 50% through code reviews and engineering quality improvements.
- Built large-scale Instagram and YouTube scraping systems processing 300k+ data points every month.
Built and launched Logoutloud — a production-ready cross-platform social platform with maps discovery, QR check-ins, push notifications, payments, and geospatial search capabilities.
