~/about

Software engineer working across backend development, SaaS quality engineering and AI systems.

I build reliable backend workflows and the tests that keep them honest: GCP pipelines with Cloud Tasks and Vertex AI/Gemini, an OpenCV-based PDF extraction pipeline, and a TypeScript/Playwright automation framework. Knowing the application and its data model well helps me catch failure scenarios before they ship. Outside work I build coding agents, documentation hosting and API marketplace backends.

Software Engineer · Bangalore

  • Replaced nondeterministic LLM-based extraction of unstructured PDF data with a code-driven pipeline using PDF parsing and OpenCV.
  • Built a Gemini/Vertex AI pipeline on GCP and moved HTTP triggers to Cloud Tasks queues, fixing failures under high traffic.
  • Contributed architectural recommendations that helped cut a microservice’s latency to one-fifth, and implemented retry logic across three microservices.
  • Built a Playwright automation framework in TypeScript from scratch, replacing Puppeteer.
  • Owned feature-release validation, acceptance-criteria reviews and production-readiness approvals.
