Senior Software Engineer (Backend) · Building scalable systems & AI-powered products at LiftOff LLC
I'm a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) at LiftOff LLC with 5+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems that handle millions of daily requests.
I specialise in designing RESTful and GraphQL APIs, integrating large language models (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic Claude), and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS and GCP.
My work focuses on backend infrastructure for AI-powered consumer and B2B platforms — data ingestion pipelines, multi-model LLM orchestration, and analytics that turn raw signal into actionable insight at scale.
Outside of work, I build developer tools and AI-powered side projects — exploring where prompt engineering, automation, and product design intersect.
Social intelligence platform for brands. Built backend infrastructure powering AI-driven analytics, competitor research, market segmentation, and multi-model LLM pipelines. Processes millions of data points from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube daily.
Full-stack web platform for a premium pet grooming & self-serve wash franchise. Engineered booking systems, membership management, location services, and API integrations powering the customer-facing experience and franchise operations.
Mental health and therapy platform that normalises access to licensed therapists. Built backend services for therapist discovery via video bios, session booking and payments, user onboarding, and franchise partner applications — designed to make therapy as approachable as any everyday service.
Web platform for a modern massage therapy franchise. Contributed backend services for booking flows, membership management, location and therapist directories, and customer-facing service catalogues across multiple studio locations.
AI-powered design workflow that turns raw app ideas into production-ready specs before a line of code is written. Walks non-technical founders and PMs through five structured phases — App Flow, Page Map, System Design, Executive Summary, and TDD Prompt — producing user journeys, wireframes, DB schemas, API routes, and a developer-ready brief with tests and CI config. Runs on your own Claude account via Artifacts.
Career-pivot programme by GUVI (incubated at IIT Madras), covering JavaScript & ES6, ReactJS with Redux, Node.js with Express, MongoDB, and MySQL — with live mentorship and hands-on projects. Provided the technical foundation for transitioning from civil engineering into a professional web-dev role.
Studied civil engineering before pivoting into software, driven by an interest in building scalable, data-intensive systems.
