About

Engineering across software, data, and AI.

I'm a software engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building backend systems with Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, GCP, Redis, REST APIs, and event-driven integrations. At Coditas, I worked on production systems supporting thousands of daily orders and financial data pipelines processing 50K+ records per day.

I'm currently completing my MS in Information Systems at Syracuse University and expanding into applied AI and data-intensive systems — building projects around AI agents, tool calling, event-driven architecture, evaluation, distributed systems, and production reliability.

I enjoy engineering systems where software, data, and AI meet real operational problems.

Experience

Production engineering, not just portfolio code.

Backend and platform work across e-commerce, healthcare reporting, and internal enterprise systems.

Software Engineer

Coditas Solutions LLP · Pune, India

Aug 2022 — Dec 2024

EshopBox — E-commerce Platform

Jan 2024 — Dec 2024
  • Built and scaled Spring Boot backend services supporting 5K–10K orders per day across e-commerce integrations.
  • Developed event-driven financial reconciliation workflows processing 50K+ records per day with GCP Pub/Sub and Cloud Scheduler.
  • Improved reliability with idempotency, Spring Retry, Resilience4j circuit breakers, and database concurrency controls.

Ambry — Healthcare Reporting Platform

Jun 2022 — Jun 2023
  • Built REST APIs serving 1K+ users across healthcare reporting workflows.
  • Improved response latency by ~20% and reduced report-generation time by 35% through PostgreSQL optimization, indexing, Redis caching, batch fetching, and JPA tuning.

OneView — Internal L&D Platform

Jun 2023 — Dec 2023
  • Built scheduling integrations with Google Calendar API, OAuth 2.0, and webhooks.
  • Implemented stateless JWT authentication and resilient third-party API handling using Spring Retry and Resilience4j.

Selected Work

Projects built around real engineering problems.

A focused set spanning AI-agent infrastructure, backend systems, data engineering, API integration, and product development.

Applied AI / Agent Systems

Flagship Project

Understudy

Enterprise AI-agent autonomy control plane where an LLM shadows human operators on shipment exceptions and earns action-specific autonomy through measured performance. A deterministic controller promotes or demotes actions across SHADOW → SUGGEST → AUTO with guardrails, tool permissions, and auditable state transitions.

Backend / Distributed Systems

Flagship Project

Hotel Review System

Production-style Spring Boot microservices platform built around independently deployable User, Hotel, and Rating services. Uses API Gateway, Eureka service discovery, Feign communication, RS256 JWT authentication, role-based authorization, validation, centralized exception handling, and separate persistence layers.
