I am a software engineer and engineering leader passionate about applied AI and databases. Currently, I am a Principal Engineer II at Razorpay, working at the intersection of Data and AI, where I am building Agent Studio, which enables merchants to create AI agents while we provide the infrastructure and harness to run them reliably. I am also working on the Customer Data Platform and leading Merchant Developer Experience.

I am also building px0.ai, an open-source prompt infrastructure toolkit that lets you version, update, and govern prompts in production, eliminating the need to hardcode prompts or redeploy your application for prompt changes.

Previously, I was a Staff Engineer at Google, where I worked on GCP Memorystore and GCP Dataproc. On the side, I am building - DiceDB, a 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 through 166+ blogs, socials, and 250+ no-fluff engineering videos on YouTube, breaking down System Design, Database Internals, Microservices, BitTorrent Internals, Redis Internals, Research Papers, and the trade-offs behind real-world production systems.
