About Me

I’m a software developer with a strong foundation in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and MLOps. I build reliable APIs, secure architectures, and data-driven features. At Turing, I owned ML pipelines and production services; I also built LLM features for supplier discovery, RFQs, and pricing insights.

  • IIT Kharagpur — Dual Degree in Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture (’24)
  • Neural network for turbulence analysis (MSE 8.777e-07; RMSE 0.00094; R² ≈ 0.9975)
  • PilotLMS — Django LMS with role-based dashboards & analytics
  • Events Head (NAROES) — led 30+ team; executed institute-scale events
What I Do
  • Design scalable backends (REST/GraphQL) with Django/DRF & Flask.
  • MLOps: data pipelines, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring.
  • Containerize & orchestrate with Docker, Kubernetes; GitOps CI/CD.
  • Ship LLM features with retrieval, guardrails, and offline evals.

Apr 2024 — Graduated IIT KGP

Completed Dual Degree.

Jun 2024 — Nov 2024 — MLOps / Software Engineer @ Turing

Automated ML pipelines and shipped production services.

Experience

Led the MLOps initiative for high-impact machine learning services, ensuring reliability and scalability in production environments.

  • ML Pipeline Orchestration: Architected and maintained end-to-end ML pipelines utilizing Kubeflow and Airflow, reducing model deployment time by 60% and ensuring reproducibility.
  • CI/CD & Automation: Designed robust CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD to automate testing, containerization (Docker), and deployment of ML models to Kubernetes clusters with rollback safety.
  • Observability & Reliability: Implemented comprehensive monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack; defined and monitored SLOs/SLIs to proactively manage error budgets and maintain 99.9% service availability.

Spearheading the engineering of SwissPlat, a next-gen B2B marketplace connecting suppliers with buyers through AI-driven matching and trade execution.

  • Scalable Architecture: Developing a robust multi-tenant backend using Django and PostgreSQL, supporting isolated data environments for diverse enterprise clients.
  • Advanced AI Features: Building RAG-based supplier matching and automated RFQ generation engines using OpenAI models, LangChain, and pgvector for semantic search.
  • Performance & Security: Optimizing system throughput with asynchronous task queues (Celery/Redis) and securing the platform with enterprise-grade guardrails and prompt injection defenses.

Contributed to the development of large-scale data analytics platforms, enabling clients to derive actionable insights from terabytes of complex data.

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Optimized data ingestion and processing workflows on AWS, utilizing EC2, S3, and Lambda, which resulted in a 30% reduction in processing latency.
  • Security & Access Control: Strengthened cloud infrastructure security by implementing granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and managing secure network configurations via Route53 and VPCs.

Collaborated with senior developers to build and enhance full-stack web applications for e-commerce clients, focusing on responsiveness and performance.

  • Full-Stack Integration: Integrated React frontend components with Django REST Framework backends, ensuring seamless data synchronization and a responsive user experience.
  • API Development: Developed and documented RESTful APIs, following best practices for authentication, permissioning, and error handling.

Projects

SwissPlat LLM Platform

A high-performance B2B marketplace engine designed to revolutionize supplier discovery and trade execution.

Key Deliverables
  • Smart Supplier Matching: Engineered an LLM-powered matching engine that analyzes RFQs against supplier capabilities using vector search (pgvector) for high-relevance connections.
  • Automated RFQ Management: Built a multi-tenant architecture where buyers can broadcast requirements and receive AI-standardized quotes, reducing manual negotiation time by 40%.
  • Price Intelligence: Implemented data pipelines to scrape and analyze market rates, providing real-time pricing insights and arbitrage opportunities to users.
  • Enterprise AI Guardrails: Deployed robust prompt injection defenses and offline evaluation loops to ensure safe, hallucinogen-free model outputs in production.

Govvens — Crowd-Safe Ticketing

India's first AI-driven crowd management and ticketing platform, ensuring zero-queue entry for high-footfall stadiums.

Key Innovation
  • Biometric Entry System: Integrated eKYC and Facial Recognition for sub-2-second entry verification, eliminating ticket fraud and scalping.
  • AI Crowd Shaping: Developed an algorithm that assigns dynamic entry slots based on real-time gate occupancy heatmaps, preventing stampedes and congestion.
  • Smart Journey Planner: Integrated Google Maps API to provide users with privacy-first route optimization based on their assigned entry slot and home location.
  • Live Observability: Built a command center dashboard for venue operators to monitor crowd density and gate throughput in real-time.
