About
Full-stack engineer building production AI products for US and European teams. I own delivery across TypeScript/Node.js, React/Next.js, React Native, APIs and cloud infrastructure.
As founding Principal Engineer at Somethings, I built the platform from inception and scaled it from 30 to 3,800+ active users and 1.3M+ messages. I developed Ava, a LangGraph/LangChain/VertexAI system for internal staff data queries, and AI reply suggestions delivered in under 3 seconds.
At TopLegal, I built services processing 1,000+ documents daily at 99.9% uptime, a Neo4j graph of 100K+ entities, and event-driven AWS workflows that reduced processing time by 70%. I also mentored six engineers.
I bring hands-on architecture, product ownership and experience delivering remotely across time zones. Based in India, available immediately for remote contract work; open to strong full-time opportunities.
