Software Architect based in Bangalore with 12+ years in backend engineering. I've built event-driven platforms processing 40M+ events/day using Kafka, Redis, and Spring Boot. Currently building production RAG pipelines — vector search with Milvus, reranking with Gemini, hybrid retrieval, tool calling, and agentic AI workflows. My interests sit at the intersection of distributed systems and AI — how to make LLMs actually work in production, not just in demos. I spend most of my time thinking about trade-offs, failure modes, and what survives real traffic. I offer working sessions on system design and RAG/AI pipelines. Bring your problem, we solve it together. No slides, no lectures.
