Backend, Data & AI Systems Engineer

I build production systems that make search, data, and developer workflows faster and more reliable.

I'm an SDE-2 currently working on large-scale travel infrastructure at TripJack, with previous experience across backend, data, search, and automation at Trademo.

100K+

room records mapped with AI-assisted ranking pipelines

300x

hotel search latency improvement from 60s to under 200ms

8M+

pages indexed through optimized high-traffic APIs

30+

automated data pipelines shipped with Python and Airflow

About

I like owning systems end-to-end, from database internals up to the API contract.

Most of my work sits where performance, reliability, and applied AI meet: rewriting slow search paths, building the plumbing that lets 50+ suppliers talk to one platform, and giving teams AI tooling that saves them from digging through logs by hand.

What I look for in a problem is whether the fix compounds - a 300x latency win, a supplier onboarding flow that no longer needs a human in the loop, an MCP server that turns a 20-minute debugging session into a two-line query. I'd rather ship the boring, durable version of something than the clever one that needs babysitting.

Experience

Recent roles and the systems behind them

TripJack

SDE-2

April 2025 - Present

  • Built a real-time hotel room mapping pipeline using FAISS, Milvus, Ollama-powered LLMs, and neural reranking to map 100K+ room records with about 95% top-1 accuracy.
  • Developed a Golang microservice with gRPC integrations for 50+ suppliers, cutting onboarding time from more than 4 weeks to under 1 week.
  • Optimized hotel search using BitSet filtering, caching, and better pagination, reducing response time from 60s to under 200ms.
  • Added distributed observability with metrics, tracing, and log correlation, reducing debugging time by 60%.
  • Built internal AI tooling, including MCP servers across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, plus an AI-powered PR review workflow.

Trademo

SDE-1, Backend and Data

June 2022 - April 2025

  • Led migration from a Python monolith to Golang microservices, improving scalability and reducing latency by 50%.
  • Architected an ACL system with dynamic, role-based permission management for modular product features.
  • Designed a retrieval-augmented classification workflow for HS codes using LangChain and vector search.
  • Built 30+ automated data pipelines with Python and Apache Airflow and improved bulk workloads with RabbitMQ and Celery.
  • Optimized Elasticsearch indices, mappings, and queries, and improved high-traffic APIs that helped index more than 8 million pages.

Earlier internships

Python, data engineering, and backend foundations

2020 - 2022

  • Artyvis Technologies: web scraping and ETL automation across 50+ websites and 10+ pipelines.
  • S759Labs Technology LLP: extracted financial data from company balance sheet PDFs using Python-based parsing workflows.
  • TalentCruz: worked on Django backend features, database tasks, frontend integration, and Razorpay payment APIs.

Selected Highlights

Work that shows how I think

Search & Matching

AI-assisted room mapping at travel scale

Combined vector search, reranking, and LLM reasoning to automate supplier room matching and improve accuracy on high-volume catalog data.

Platform Engineering

Microservices and orchestration that reduced bottlenecks

Built and tuned Golang and Java services handling large request volumes, with stronger routing, validation, failover, and observability patterns.

Developer Productivity

Internal AI tooling for data access and PR review

Shipped MCP-based tooling that lets teams query production-shaped data safely and accelerate code review feedback loops.

Projects

Something I built end-to-end, outside of work

Personal Project

PostgreSQL Query Monitoring & Analysis Platform

Built a PostgreSQL extension that captures query execution metrics through server hooks, buffers events, and streams them to a gRPC service for analysis. The result is a lightweight monitoring layer for slow query detection, workload visibility, and deeper database performance insights.
