About
I build backend pipelines, and the tests that catch them breaking.
I’m a software engineer at IronRod Health. I build GCP pipelines on Cloud Tasks and Vertex AI/Gemini, replaced LLM-based PDF extraction with a deterministic OpenCV pipeline, and built our Playwright framework from scratch. Before that I spent two and a half years automating tests at Cognizant, so I tend to look for how something will fail before it ships. Outside work I build coding agents, documentation hosting and API marketplace backends.

Software Engineer · Bangalore
- Replaced nondeterministic LLM-based extraction of unstructured PDF data with a code-driven pipeline using PDF parsing and OpenCV.
- Built a Gemini/Vertex AI pipeline on GCP and moved HTTP triggers to Cloud Tasks queues, fixing failures under high traffic.
- Proposed architecture changes that helped cut a microservice’s latency to a fifth, and added retry logic across three microservices.
- Built a Playwright automation framework in TypeScript from scratch, replacing Puppeteer.
- Signed off feature releases: reviewed acceptance criteria and approved them for production.
