I am a Full Stack GenAI Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building thoughtful, scalable solutions that turn complex problems into simple & useful digital experiences.
My work spans architecting, developing, deploying, and optimizing scalable applications across hybrid and cloud environments (including AWS & GCP). I enjoy owning the complete product journey, from crafting intuitive user experiences to designing the systems and infrastructure that power them, with a strong focus on the details that make software feel seamless.
I bring strong experience in distributed architectures & secure system design. I thrive in Agile, collaborative environments - with focus is on building high-availability enterprise platforms while improving engineering efficiency and accelerating software delivery.
Building platforms. Leading teams. Making an impact.

Solutions Architect II (SA II)
American Express
Gurgaon, India
Architected and engineered Celery-based autosync ETL pipelines on a 3-day schedule to migrate ~70% of platform data from Couchbase to PostgreSQL. Owned complex architectural trade-offs during rollback windows, significantly reducing legacy-service dependence for cross-functional engineering teams.
Spearheaded a GenAI initiative for CloudUniversity, the AmEx internal enterprise learning platform. Architected a Python-based workflow to extract video transcripts using FFmpeg, segment text into manageable chunks, and execute prompt-engineered calls to the Amex Internal GenAI capability to auto-generate structured summaries and sub-topics for each video.
Ensured cross-team security compliance under Project Guardian by remediating 200+ vulnerabilities and enforcing strict image lifecycle policies across dev, QA, and prod environments, strengthening the platform’s risk management and control. Mentored junior engineers and drove comprehensive architecture reviews to elevate risk-management standards outside the immediate team.

Solutions Architect I (SA I)
American Express
Banglaore, India
Architected, developed, and scaled the distributed enterprise learning platform CloudUniversity using React.js, Java Spring Boot, and Python FastAPI microservices, providing a video content management system and modular course-curation system while reducing content search latency by ~40% over time.
Engineered an unsupervised ML content-based video recommendation engine utilizing Pandas, NumPy, and similarity-based clustering to deliver personalized content discovery. Mentored interns on user data preprocessing, content-based filtering, and feature representation, raising coding quality and establishing team-wide best practices.
Spearheaded a cross-functional Hydra container migration from OpenShift v3 to v4 for 12+ enterprise application teams, conducting rigorous architecture reviews and optimizing Kubernetes deployments to improve overall system scalability and reliability by ~35%.
Scaled the observability and operational efficiency of the learning platform by implementing Redis caching alongside AI-driven ELF telemetry, cutting API latency by ~25% for large-data endpoints. Automated manual license allocations for a third-party learning platform via the Python 3 Celery framework, reducing operational overhead by 70% and shifting team focus toward strategic engineering.
