About Me

Senior Backend Engineer with 5.5+ years building distributed systems and real-money gaming platforms on AWS. I design scalable microservices, fault-tolerant architectures, and high-throughput services on PostgreSQL, caching, and event-driven patterns, and own the full lifecycle from system design through production operations, reliability, and performance.

At Jumbo, I work across payments, wallets, transactions, and core game services on a high-scale real-money gaming platform. Earlier roles spanned drone airspace management, hostel reservations, and a skills marketplace, so I've built backends for very different domains and scales.

Featured Projects

Production systems I've shipped across gaming, payments, drone airspace, and travel. They range from payment infrastructure handling crores in daily volume to real-time platforms tracking thousands of live events.

Jumbo — India's first gamified shopping app
Jumbo · Jun 2024 — Present
NestJS PostgreSQL Redis AWS

Gamified Commerce & Gaming Platform

India's first gamified shopping app. Built the payments service, multi-currency wallet ledger, and the orders module powering checkout, gift cards, and DigiGold, plus core services behind games like Ludo, Fantasy, and Jackpot, all running at high scale in production.

SkyeUTM — drone unmanned traffic management platform
SkyeAir (via CodeChavo) · 2023 — 2024
Node.js AWS Lambda DynamoDB WebSocket

SkyeUTM: Drone Traffic Management

Serverless backend for an unmanned aircraft traffic-management platform regulating shared airspace. Built the deconfliction engine that continuously verifies 3D separation between aircraft and scaled it to 1,000+ drones tracked live, with real-time WebSocket telemetry and APIs for role management, drone registration, and RPTO batch handling.

The Hosteller — backpacker hostel booking website
Quoality · 2021 — 2022
Node.js GraphQL MongoDB Razorpay

The Hosteller: Hostel Chain

Owned the backend for one of India's largest backpacker hostel chains, spanning 50+ properties across the country. Built a custom reservation flow on top of the eZee APIs to lift direct guest bookings, with Razorpay payments and an AWS Lambda / S3 / SES serverless stack.

Skillsture — skills marketplace
VHM Infotech · 2022 — 2023
Node.js GraphQL Zoom API React

Skillsture: Skills Marketplace

A skills-training marketplace connecting learners with instructors across 100+ skills through live, upcoming, and recorded Zoom lectures personalized to the instructors they follow. Built the backend and a GraphQL-powered React admin dashboard, with the Zoom Meeting API driving the live-class scheduling.

eAutoGen — vehicle warranty and insurance platform
VHM Infotech · 2022 — 2023
Node.js GraphQL React REST APIs

eAutoGen: Warranty & Insurance

A vehicle-aftermarket platform where users generate extended warranty and insurance quotes by car brand, model, and year. Built the admin dashboard end to end with GraphQL API integration.

Founding Engineer

Jumbo
Current

Built and scaled backend services for a real-money gaming platform processing ~700K requests/min, ₹5 Cr peak payment volume, and 30 Cr+ in-game transactions across Ludo, Fantasy, Jackpot, and LevelUp.

Payments, Wallet & Financial Infra
  • Designed and developed core financial infrastructure, including a multi-currency wallet ledger, payment service, transaction history service, and a risk engine for payout validation and fraud checks.
  • Integrated Razorpay, Cashfree, and Paytm with intelligent gateway routing and automated payment reconciliation, eliminating manual wallet correction workflows.
  • Developed DigiGold buy/sell workflows using Augmont APIs, plus Jumbo and Cherry gift-card ordering systems, with automated cleanup jobs for failed and orphaned transactions.
Platform & Performance
  • Architected and owned the Fantasy Sports platform from design to production, defining service boundaries, PostgreSQL schema, and REST API contracts.
  • Reduced backend traffic by ~50% with CDN caching, optimized Cache-Control strategies, and cache invalidation.
  • Improved performance with Redis, migrated analytical workloads to ClickHouse through ETL pipelines, and optimized high-volume PostgreSQL queries.
  • Built an AWS SQS event-processing pipeline for server-side attribution, integrating Singular, CleverTap, Entity Sports, Augmont, and Linkrunner.
Reliability & Ownership
  • Diagnosed and resolved a critical PostgreSQL connection exhaustion issue causing ~40% order failures under production traffic.
  • Owned backend services across payments, wallet, gaming, DigiGold, shop, and risk, leading deployments, production support, code reviews, and mentoring engineers.

AI, in Practice

AI runs through how I build and debug, from writing code to digging into production issues. Here's the actual stack.

Primary tool

Claude Code

Daily driver for coding, refactoring, debugging and code review, including the architecture discussions that happen before a line of code gets written.

Model Context Protocol

MCP

Wired into the editor to pull real context while debugging: querying data, tracing issues across systems, and operational lookups without switching tools.

Connected to Postgres (read-only) Slack Linear
Ideation

ChatGPT

Brainstorming, exploring approaches, and talking through design trade-offs early on.

AI IDE

Cursor

Fast inline completion for day-to-day editing when momentum matters more than conversation.
