Own the backend and cloud infrastructure behind StejasSYS's product lines, from a production ride-hailing platform to an AI hotel-sales agent.
- Architected and built the NestJS backend for Zion Taxi, an in-house ride-hailing product live with 300+ drivers, owning module boundaries, the fare-pricing strategy, caching design, and the RBAC permission model end to end.
- Implemented the platform's transactional core: Razorpay integration, commission and ledger settlement, and rider debt/balance resolution.
- Wrote and maintain the platform's test suite in Jest — 231 backend and 57 frontend spec files, roughly 3,700 cases covering payments, access control, fare pricing, PII masking, and realtime gateways.
- Built the conversation orchestration core and pgvector-backed retrieval for Innkraft's AI hotel sales agent, a LangChain/LangGraph assistant handling guest bookings over WhatsApp and Telegram for around five hotel clients.
- Own the company's cloud infrastructure: GCP IAM policies, load balancers, CDNs, and secret management across every product line.
- Replaced a manual multi-step deploy with a Bash automation that pulls a versioned image from Artifact Registry, updates the Compose service, and restarts affected containers.

Part-timeRemoteChennai, India
Joined part-time to move the team off low-code tooling and onto custom-built Next.js applications.
- Built full-stack features with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Payload CMS, leading the transition away from Wix.
- Implemented static generation with on-demand ISR and CMS webhooks so content changes propagated without a redeploy.
- Diagnosed and fixed a major performance bottleneck, cutting page load from 15s to 1-2s by fixing image handling and removing unnecessary prefetching.
- Reduced Docker image bloat with multi-stage builds, improving build and deploy speed.
