Lead Backend Engineer · Cloud system design

Five years building scalable cloud-native systems: secure microservices, GraphQL and FastAPI services on GCP and AWS, and the CI/CD that ships them — most recently cutting deployment time by 30%. Before that, two years at IIT Gandhinagar on deep learning for brain imaging, published at Brain Informatics 2021.

TrendSense

A platform that collects global trends from TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, then uses Gemini to turn the raw signal into structured insight for beauty, cosmetics and travel clients. I built the backend in Python and Node.js and the GraphQL and FastAPI microservices behind it, on Google Cloud Run.
