About

Backend engineer specializing in AI systems and production-grade microservices. Owns architecture end-to-end from agentic AI services to the infrastructure that runs them, consistently shipping with strict telemetry, tests, and cost controls.

Experience

  1. Backend Developer · Ayoo Medical Pvt Ltd. Live site

    Owning backend architecture for a healthtech platform — the agentic booking system, the abuse defence in front of it, the worker infrastructure behind it, and the AWS bill under it.

    • Built a patient-facing booking agent using a 17-tool calling loop matching doctors to complaints and handling payments, with typed error envelopes for in-loop model recovery.
    • Layered abuse defence ahead of inference via pre-model extraction screening, an IP-banning strike tool, OTP quotas, HMAC-SHA256 session binding, and a 20-key PII redaction pipeline.
    • Closed the loop on agent outcomes with a reaper that classifies expired conversations via a 4-field structured LLM call, with robust retry accounting and retroactive status correction.
    • Built an AI session summariser generating doctor notes and patient-specific summaries; audio is transcribed via Deepgram ASR and indexed in Pinecone (Gemini) for RAG.
    • Led extraction of the notification and worker service from the FastAPI monolith; a 4-queue Redis Queue system with per-channel selective retry (FCM, Exotel SMS, SMTP) decouples lifecycle events and reminders from the request cycle.
    • Cut slot-query latency to sub-50ms across 200+ endpoints with a MongoDB-backed doctor-availability cache using compound indexes and explicit invalidation.
    • Rightsized ECS-on-EC2 fleets (Auto Scaling, Aurora read replicas), cutting AWS spend 25% at a 99.9% uptime SLA.
  2. Software Engineer & AI Consultant · Independent

    Remote contract work, split between product delivery for SMB clients and evaluation work for AI labs.

    • Shipped 8+ production full-stack apps (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL) for SMB clients; owned architecture, CI/CD, and deploy lifecycle.
    • Reviewed 200+ LLM code solutions for Scale AI (Outlier); authored RLHF QA rubrics driving a 12% lift on coding benchmarks.
    • Engineered adversarial Docker terminal benchmarks (AfterQuery) exposing multi-step reasoning gaps in SOTA models; built reproducible evaluation harnesses.
