Professional Experience
Unify Technologies
Senior Software Engineer (Contingent worker @ Meta)
Dec 2023 - Feb 2026 · 2 yrs 3 mosCore contributor to Aria Studio. Engineered a cross-platform application across Linux, Windows and Mac powered by fast, scalable FastAPI services that held up when it mattered. Built parsers to extract raw VRS file data into usable streams across multiple sensors including IMU, SLAM cameras, RGB camera, audio and GPS from Meta Aria Glasses. Brought that data to life with real-time visualization using Rerun. Contributed to MPS and AR/VR services, building the backend infrastructure behind some of Meta's most ambitious bets.
Zydelo
Senior Software Engineer
May 2022 - Dec 2023 · 1 yr 8 mosScalable Web Services
Owned backend development end to end. Architected and shipped high-performance APIs using Python, Django Rest Framework, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis and Docker, serving both internal products and external clients without missing a beat. Took junior developers under wing, ran code reviews and built a culture of engineering excellence that outlasted any single project.
Software Engineer
May 2021 - May 2022 · 1 yr 1 moInfrastructure Provisioning
Eliminated nearly all manual infrastructure work. Built end-to-end automation for provisioning and configuring AWS services using Terraform and Ansible. 99% reduction in manual effort. The kind of work that quietly saves the team thousands of hours and nobody has to think about it again.
Wipro Limited
Project Engineer
Jul 2019 - May 2021 · 1 yr 11 mosEnterprise Data Warehousing
Delivered an Enterprise Data Warehouse for one of the largest public sector banks in the country, end to end. Didn't stay in one lane. Wrote ETL jobs in SAS and IBM DataStage, managed scheduling, and owned production monitoring. The kind of project where you touch every layer and understand how the whole machine works.
Web service Integration of ML and Django
Bridged the gap between machine learning and business intelligence. Built Django REST APIs that connected the ML pipeline directly to the existing BI dashboard, replacing a clunky workflow where the BI team was pulling ML data through Excel files and REST endpoints manually. Result: the BI team went from wrestling with spreadsheets to generating reports, slicing data and pulling insights on demand. Faster decisions, zero bottlenecks.
Fraud Detection POC
Worked side by side with the core FRMS team to rethink how fraudulent transactions and accounts get detected. Didn't just discuss methodologies, built a working POC. Ran XGBoost, CatBoost and Random Forest on massive datasets, analysed ensemble models and benchmarked what performed best under real-world conditions. From whiteboard to working prototype.
LawFacto
Software Developer Intern
Jan 2018 - Mar 2018 · 3 mosEngineered the REST APIs that power the official mobile app and website for the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court of India, delivering court orders, judgments, display boards, bar notifications and event updates to the legal community in real time. The app was officially launched in the presence of Sh. Arun Jaitley, Hon'ble Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Government of India. Code that runs in courtrooms. Doesn't get more real than that.
