01. About Me

Who I Am

I am a backend and platform engineer focused on building scalable, secure, and highly observable distributed systems that power data-intensive enterprise platforms.

At Syniti, I work across core platform initiatives spanning identity architecture, audit logging, search infrastructure, and cloud security, with an emphasis on designing reusable platform capabilities that enable multiple product teams to ship faster and operate safely at scale.

Key areas of impact:

  • Designing and evolving IAM-first platform architecture supporting multi-cloud deployments and compliance requirements
  • Building centralized audit logging infrastructure enabling governance, observability, and cross-service traceability
  • Leading IRSA adoption and secure workload identity patterns across Kubernetes environments
  • Architecting a reusable search abstraction layer simplifying OpenSearch integration and reducing team-level operational overhead
  • Driving platform reliability through monitoring, logging, and operational excellence practices
  • Mentoring engineers and contributing to design discussions influencing cross-team technical direction

I enjoy working at the intersection of distributed systems, platform engineering, and cloud security — building foundational infrastructure that scales across teams and products. I've also made open-source contributions to Google Summer of Code organisations.

Where I've Worked

Senior Software Engineer

Syniti · Remote, India

  • Architected and delivered a multi-cloud search abstraction layer supporting AWS OpenSearch, Azure Cognitive Search, and Elasticsearch, enabling zero-code cloud provider switching across multiple enterprise microservices handling 10M+ daily search queries.
  • Led a platform-wide migration of 100+ microservices from static PostgreSQL credentials to IAM-based authentication to meet FedRAMP requirements, eliminating all stored database secrets.
  • Designed and implemented a shared, language-agnostic database authentication library (AWS and Azure) using short-lived 15-minute tokens and enabled RDS IAM authentication via Terraform, standardizing secure DB access across all Kubernetes-hosted services.
  • Defined and drove org-wide adoption of a standardized audit logging architecture to close FedRAMP High (NIST SP 800-53 AU-3) compliance gaps across Go, Java, .NET, and Python services.
  • Implemented IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) across all Kubernetes workloads, removing hardcoded AWS credentials and enabling least-privilege, short-lived access to AWS services.
  • Redesigned the Data Quality Rule Engine to stream multi-million-row datasets using chunked database reads and controlled concurrency, improving performance by 60%+ while eliminating memory constraints.
  • Built a scalable error-report export pipeline using streamed XLSX generation and S3 multipart uploads, enabling large report downloads directly from the UI.
  • Designed and delivered a Data Volume Under Management (DVUM) framework spanning PostgreSQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, and SQL Server, enabling accurate customer usage tracking for billing and revenue operations.
  • Mentored 5+ engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and hundreds of production code reviews, improving system design quality and engineering standards.

Software Engineer

Quartic.ai · Bangalore, India

  • Designed and built a backend proxy microservice to standardize service-to-service communication across the platform, improving scalability and simplifying cross-service integrations.
  • Optimized backend APIs powering manufacturing dashboards, reducing response times from minutes to a few seconds and significantly improving operational decision-making.
  • Led the effort to secure on-prem customer deployments by implementing repository obfuscation and code protection mechanisms, ensuring intellectual property safety and deployment compliance.
  • Integrated Microsoft Power BI REST APIs to enable near real-time data streaming and analytics, expanding the platform's reporting and visualization capabilities.
  • Partnered with QA to build an automated testing framework and integrated execution with Slack notifications, reducing manual testing effort and accelerating feedback loops.

Software Engineer

Cuemath · Bangalore, India

  • Wrote Annotation Processors for the Cuestudent Android app (Java), reducing screen load time from 120 ms to 40 ms and halving new layout development time through boilerplate elimination.
  • Developed features and maintained the Cuestudent app serving 50k+ daily active users across diverse screen sizes and OS versions; also built architecture for the Cuemath NCERT App.
  • Integrated Google Business Listings APIs with the SEO team, significantly reducing manual content-management effort for the curriculum team.
  • Built a Math Olympiad enrollment flow using React.js adopted by 30k+ students, and revamped the data-capture signup form to improve conversion.
