Employment History

JULY 2024 — PRESENT

Backend Engineer @ Synapse Analytics

Designed and scaled the core backend platform for Doxter, around a microservices-based AI pipeline, orchestrating multiple services (OCR, eKYC, eKYB, classification, extraction) to reliably process 10,000+ documents per day.
Enabled seamless coordination between microservices by building robust orchestration, data flow, and error-handling layers using Django Rest Framework, Celery, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
Improved system reliability under load by optimizing asynchronous task pipelines, retries, and failure handling across distributed services.
Expanded backend ownership beyond APIs by contributing to Kubernetes-based deployments, working with services, configs, and dev clusters to run and validate microservices at scale.
Strengthened cloud-native operations by deploying and testing services on AWS-backed Kubernetes environments, ensuring smooth integration between backend services and external microservices.
Improved performance observability by monitoring system behavior in the Kubernetes dev cluster, identifying bottlenecks, and assisting in performance tuning.
Enhanced platform flexibility by implementing configurable document processing workflows, enabling clients to customize classification and extraction pipelines.
Reduced system instability by ~50% through systematic debugging and stabilization of legacy backend components.
Contributed across the stack by delivering frontend fixes and feature implementations, improving overall product usability.

APRIL 2024 — AUGUST 2024

Backend Engineer @ Yosr.AI

Transformed company operations by designing and building a comprehensive Point of Sale (POS) system integrated with Kitchen Display System (KDS) and a Customer Service application, resulting in a reduction in operational costs.
Developed RESTful APIs with Django Rest Framework to handle real-time order processing, between the POS and KDS.
Utilized GraphQL to create flexible and efficient data queries, reducing the number of API calls and optimizing performance by 40% compared to traditional REST APIs.
Developed customer service applications that integrated with the POS system, providing agents with comprehensive order details, payment history.
Ensured system integrity and enhanced data security by implementing robust permission and role-based access control mechanisms, safeguarding sensitive customer and transactional data.
