I am a software engineer and engineering leader passionate about databases and system architecture. Currently, I am a Principal Engineer II at Razorpay, working at the intersection of Data and AI, and building Agent Studio, which enables merchants to create agents while we provide the harness to run them reliably. Previously, I was a Staff Engineer at Google, where I worked on GCP Memorystore and GCP Dataproc. On the side, I am building - DiceDB which is fork of Valkey with multi-tiering and query subscriptions.
I also spend time on independent research, publishing my work on ArXiv. My areas of interest include databases, approximate algorithms, and distributed systems.
In 2024, I took a leap of faith and co-founded Profile.fyi, which was later acquired by Mercor. I was part of Amazon's Fast Data Team, where I worked on cold tiering of hot data and developed a seamless query interface across all storage tiers.
I held engineering leadership positions (both IC and management) at Unacademy, where I built, grew, and led Search, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, and Data Engineering teams. I hold a total of 12+ years of experience in scaling backend services, taking products and teams from 0 to 1, and beyond.
I keep diving deep into engineering details and share my learnings by across my socials and videos on YouTube.
