About

Backend engineer working on AI systems and microservices. Owns the architecture for agentic AI services and the infrastructure underneath them, along with the telemetry, tests and cost controls that keep them running in production.

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 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.
