AI-native Software Engineer building scalable, intelligent systems.

I am a Full Stack Engineer at Saccharo AI, with a Masters in Computer Science and Engineering. I build and deploy production-grade systems across the stack, spanning AI-driven applications, distributed data infrastructure, and real-time services.

I enjoy working on problems where systems, data, and intelligence intersect, especially at scale.
Selected impact:
• Improved runtime of epidemiological simulation frameworks by 42% through performance engineering and graph-based modeling
• Designed scalable contact-network propagation models for intervention optimization
• Re-architected legacy financial systems at Infosys into modular, production-ready Python platforms
• Built distributed PySpark pipelines on AWS to process high-volume global transaction data with zero downtime

My work sits at the intersection of applied machine learning, LLM-powered systems, distributed systems, and backend engineering. I focus on building systems that are reliable, observable, and performant in production.

Technical focus
• Applied LLM systems & semantic retrieval
• Distributed data pipelines (PySpark, AWS)
• Graph algorithms & network propagation
• Real-time ML inference & optimization
• Full stack & API architecture

## Work Experience
### Full Stack Engineer @ Saccharo AI
Jan 2026 – Present | New York, NY

### Research Associate @ University at Buffalo
Jan 2026 – Jan 2026 | Buffalo, NY
• Refactored the legacy COVIDHM R package to modernize the epidemiological simulation library, contributing to a 42% reduction in overall runtime. 
• Developed autonomous tracing workflows utilizing 1-hop and 2-hop network data for effective quarantine decisions.  
• Integrated PRINCE scoring into the data pipeline to prioritize individuals and mitigate super-spreader events.  
• Designed simulations demonstrating a 75% reduction in unnecessary quarantines while ensuring viral control.

### Specialist Programmer - Software Development Engineer @ Infosys
Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | India
• Migrated 250+ legacy Linux shell scripts into a modular, containerized Python framework, improving maintainability by 60%
• Built a custom DSL using Parsley grammar with JSON-based rule mapping, enabling 100% business-rule configurability by non-engineers and cutting merchant onboarding time by 50%
• Engineered a high-throughput Python + PySpark pipeline processing 10M+ global transactions daily from AWS S3, reducing reconciliation latency by 45%
• Developed a regex-driven dispatch engine to auto-route file transformations, eliminating 70% redundant code and accelerating new merchant integrations by 40%
• Implemented a zero-downtime parallel validation architecture, achieving 100% data integrity during migration and preventing financial reporting discrepancies
• Containerized the end-to-end system with Docker and production-grade monitoring, reducing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) by 40% and improving deployment consistency across environments

### Freelance @ Self-Employed / Freelance
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | India
• Engineered responsive landing pages and MVPs for startups using React.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring cross-browser compatibility.  
• Authored comprehensive technical specifications and API documentation, facilitating communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.  
• Created over 50 technical articles on Cloud Architecture, enhancing client brand authority and reaching an audience of 50K+ readers.
