About Me
With over 14 years of experience in software engineering, I am driven by a genuine passion for programming and an unwavering commitment to solving complex technical challenges. I find deep satisfaction in transforming intricate problems into elegant, scalable solutions.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in architecting and building high-velocity, production-grade applications that are highly available, secure, fault-tolerant, and auto-scalable. My approach combines rigorous engineering principles with innovative problem-solving, ensuring that every system I design not only meets current requirements but is also built to evolve and scale.
I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technologies to build intelligent systems. From developing AI-powered chat applications with RAG systems and MCP servers to optimizing performance-critical financial systems processing millions of transactions, I thrive on tackling diverse technical challenges across different domains.
Beyond technical execution, I am a collaborative team player who values knowledge sharing and continuous learning. I stay current with emerging technologies, actively experimenting with new tools and frameworks to understand their potential and applicability. This curiosity-driven approach enables me to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to every project I undertake.
Experience
Built and scaled an AI-first CRM SaaS product, shipping LLM-powered features that improve productivity and customer engagement across sales and support workflows. Led development across Node.js, Go, and Python—introducing microservices and micro-frontend architecture—while driving performance improvements, secure integrations, and strong production observability.
Key Achievements:
- Built AI workflows inside the CRM (LLM-assisted writing/summaries and smart search) with grounded context retrieval and safe prompt/tool patterns.
- Introduced a microservices architecture, carving out domain services and shared platform capabilities (auth, async jobs, integrations) with clear APIs and ownership.
- Implemented micro-frontend patterns to enable independent delivery of CRM modules while keeping UX consistent and releases low-risk.
- Designed and implemented scalable APIs and background processing for sync, enrichment, notifications, and scheduled automation.
- Improved performance and reliability through profiling, query/index tuning, caching, and proactive monitoring/alerting.
- Hardened LLM features with guardrails (validation, content controls, and fallback strategies) and improved response quality through prompt iteration and evaluation.
- Improved developer velocity with better service boundaries, shared libraries, and streamlined CI/CD and release practices for faster, safer deployments.
- Strengthened multi-tenant reliability with safer rollout patterns, backward-compatible changes, and operational playbooks for incident response.
Technologies:
Pixelvide has built IFMIS (Integrated Financial Management System) for the Government of Telangana. The IFMIS System manages about 2,40,000 employees salaries, arrears, loans and other government bills.
Key Achievements:
- Built services to process employee salaries and other payments for the state government.
- Built services to validate duplicate payment checks each time a bill is processed.
- Built a complete DevOps pipeline, to publish code to production servers in 60 seconds.
Technologies:
StegoSOC delivers continuous security and compliance monitoring for cloud infrastructure. Detects Cyber Threats in near Real-time. It's an IDS and IPS which uses AI, Machine Learning to detect and proactively prevent possible cyber attacks.
Key Achievements:
- Scaled platform from 0 to 30 Million events a day
- Built Linux agents from ground up and created a complete pipeline to collect all events from agents
- Designed PCI DSS compliant infrastructure
