I design and ship the systems that quietly hold products together at scale, and I care a lot about getting the details right. I have 6+ years of experience across Intuit, Flipkart, and Housing.com, working on pricing engines, tax-abuse detection, size recommendations, and payment integrations. I am a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Salesforce, based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. I care about the intersection of distributed systems and agentic AI, using AI to understand, observe, and reason about complex systems at scale.

My education includes Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology: Bachelor of Engineering - BE, Computer Science (2016 to 2020).

  • My work includes detecting cross-region tax abuse across ~10M QBO customers, disabling 300K+ non-compliant subscriptions and protecting ~$8M in annual subscription revenue with compliance, billing, and platform teams. I built a personalised pricing engine across QBO, TSheets, and Payroll that drove 18% growth in bundle subscriptions, added ~200K customers, and generated $5M in annual revenue; another career-achievement description credits the Fusion pricing engine with ~$72M in ARR. I designed the Switch Offer revamp by grouping 40 microservices into order-based workflows with retries; the experience descriptions give different deployment-failure reductions (60% and 15%). I also built Claude-powered agentic tools with MCP to map service flows, identify dependencies, analyse logs, and triage JIRA incidents, and mentored 2 engineers on on-call practices and incident response.
  • At Flipkart, I shipped a size-recommendation system serving 50M+ users on Product and Search pages, reducing return rates by 12% and improving add-to-cart conversion; my career-achievement summary also says it lifted GMV 2%. I integrated Paytm into checkout, enabling access to Paytm's 300M+ user base and handling 2M+ daily transactions with zero downtime at launch. I owned UserService for 40M+ profiles, maintaining 99.9% availability and full data consistency, and kept it running through Big Billion Day's 10× normal traffic without major customer-impacting incidents. I also built secure single sign-on data sharing across Flipkart group apps, including Cleartrip and SuperMoney, and led an auditable account-deletion pipeline across dependent services.
  • At Housing.com, I built a Zoom-based video-tour feature during the COVID-19 lockdown that enabled remote property viewing and won a Rockstar Developer Quarterly Award. I integrated Stanza and Zolo listings and built a Profile Management System with a seller/buyer admin portal. My project work also includes that profile system, with profile administration, Ruby on Rails APIs, signup reporting, and Elasticsearch search; a machine-learning and NLP institution-feedback analysis using Naive Bayes and ANN; Revamp, a business idea for collecting and redistributing expired household medicines; and SAHINATOR, a cost-effective solar water heater showcased at Smart India Hackathon.

My core strengths include microservices architecture, high availability and fault tolerance, system design, API performance optimization, observability and monitoring, on-call and incident response, and cross-functional technical leadership. I work with Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Claude, MCP, Python, C++, SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, HBase, Aerospike, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Ruby on Rails, Splunk, Argo, GitHub, and Jira. My wider skills include distributed systems, agentic AI development, prompt engineering, LLM integration, CI/CD, data structures, operating systems, NLP, machine learning, project management, mentorship, leadership, public speaking, communication, and basketball.

  • I received the Best All Rounder Award for Batch 2020 at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, selected from a batch of 2000 students, with a medal and a cash prize of 20000 rupees. My other honors include third position at Maharana Pratap School in ISC, third position at Seth Anandram Jaipuria School in ICSE, and a gold medal from the District Swimming Association. The causes I support include arts and culture, the environment, health, animal welfare, civil rights and social action, and human rights.
