About

One startup, four pivots: mobile-game streaming, Clubhouse-style live audio, a creator social network, and now Zaps, an AI design suite.

• Built and ran the backend behind 25M users. 20+ services on Kubernetes, written in Node.js and Go, fronted by Kong with Kafka and Redis carrying traffic.
• Wrote the game-streaming stack, RTMP and FFmpeg ingest running 50K streams a day at sub 5s latency.
• Implemented live audio rooms, where MQTT and Firebase kept every listener's state in sync for 2M people a month across 70M minutes of calls.
• Built a social network with a news feed, discovery, DMs and connections over Neo4j for second-degree retrieval, indexed in real time by Elasticsearch on an event-driven Kafka core.
• Shipped AI photo editing, face swap, retouch and background tools on ComfyUI, orchestrated with LangGraph and n8n on Kubernetes.
• Cut GPU spend by 80% by moving generation onto a distributed GPU network while still returning images at sub 2s, and another 70% off infrastructure by moving to serverless.
• Made the template library searchable by meaning rather than by tag, semantic search over embeddings retrieved by vector similarity.
• Set up an engineering platform where ten product people shipped 17 internal tools without a single engineer commit.

A centralized cryptocurrency exchange, and the crypto work around it.

• Built the exchange backend. Accounts, KYC, sessions, markets, order flow, fee schedules, referral commissions, API keys with IP allowlists, and failover.
• Worked on the low-latency core, a matching engine written in C with its own gRPC and WebSocket access layers, market price feeds, and trade history services.
• Multi-chain custody. Deposits and withdrawals across Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Cosmos, ICON, and Binance Chain.
• Built a multi-chain DEX aggregator with price scrapers across BSC, ICON, and Moonbeam, plus a blockchain indexer for on-chain history.

• Led the team behind movie ticketing that held 500+ requests a second.
• Designed the logistics architecture. Delivery opt-in, order tracking, and the internal tools for managing shipments.
• Built the full e-commerce flow. Cart, payments, inventory, and taxation.
• Ran it all as AWS microservices on Kubernetes, with serverless functions on Lambda and Kinesis carrying the on-demand work.
• Led a team of 7 and interviewed 100+ engineers for backend and DevOps roles.

A travel-planning startup. Built its omni-channel chat server bridging the app, Facebook Messenger, and support agents over Socket.IO and Firebase, with conversation handoff and Elasticsearch-backed search.

Legal-tech. Wrote scrapers and fetchers that pulled daily cause lists from Indian courts, including the Delhi High Court and the national consumer courts, into structured case data.
