Hey there, I'm Chirag! I'm a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys helping engineers and builders turn backend, data, and AI ideas into reliable systems. At Sense, I work across production AI, backend, data, and platform engineering. Before that, I worked at StepChange on climate-risk products for major banks, where I improved CI/CD reliability, designed RBAC, and helped architect a multi-tenant analytics warehouse for 100GB+ datasets with sub-minute metric refreshes. I have also built AI assistants, anomaly-detection systems, data pipelines, and integration-heavy backend platforms across climate-tech, pharma, retail, and hiring-tech contexts. On Topmate, I can help with architecture tradeoffs, system design prep, resume and LinkedIn positioning, AI/backend workflow reviews, and career direction for engineers who want a clearer next step. If you are building something technical, preparing for interviews, or trying to make sense of an AI/backend idea, start with the free Discovery Call or send a free question first.
