about
I love chasing hard problems (the kind I'll bang my head against and lose sleep over), then shipping my way out of them. Most recently at Shoppin, where I built an engine that turns a garment photo into a factory-ready sewing pattern in minutes, work that used to take a master pattern-maker days, plus the AI systems around it: the feed, the try-on, the payments. Founding engineer at every startup before this one. I ship fast, I'm at my best debugging the thing nobody else can find, and I'm happiest watching a p95 graph fall.
experience
Senior Product Engineer, Shoppin
Oct 2025 – now · Gurugram, India
- Built an agent-based pattern-making engine: garment image/spec → production-ready ASTM sewing pattern in minutes, ~95% accuracy
- Shipped an AI-native custom-clothing platform end-to-end: talk it out, design in-browser, get real made-to-order clothes
- Owned the recommendation & discovery engine (250K+ items) and the entire e-commerce & payments stack
Founding AI Engineer, Verbaflo.AI
Dec 2024 – Sep 2025 · Gurugram, India
- Built the entire backend from scratch for a multi-modal agentic AI platform (Chat / Email / WhatsApp / Voice)
- Hybrid RAG pipeline with Milvus: sub-200ms retrieval, 95%+ context accuracy over multi-turn conversations
- Shipped multi-provider LLM infra (OpenAI, Anthropic, LLaMA, Qwen) via gRPC, adopted as the standard across every team
Founding AI Engineer, Sidecar
Jul 2025 – Oct 2025 · Remote · Contract
- Built a 24/7 autonomous freight-forwarding agent end-to-end for a logistics startup
- Reads inbound emails, understands intent with an LLM, and extracts structure from messy shipping docs
- Agentic quoting loop that fans out to partner agents and returns the best option with no human in the loop
Founding Engineer, PrudentBit
Jun 2023 – Aug 2024 · Hybrid
- Secure file-sharing platform on Azure: 6+ microservices, SAML SSO, OAuth, 2FA, DLP, malware scanning
- Enterprise clients: Toyota and UCO Bank
- Backend rewrite: 130+ REST APIs; 1s → 30ms latency, 2s → 0.4s page loads
B.Tech in Computer Science, AI/ML specialization · Sushant University · Sep 2021 – May 2025 · 8.9 SGPA

philosophy
The best software feels like nothing at all. It gets out of the way, it respects your time, and it only shows up when you need it to.
