I’m a Staff-level Backend & Platform Engineer with 9+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and business-critical systems across fintech and global payments platforms.

My work sits behind APIs, identity layers, and platforms that other teams depend on. Over the years, I’ve grown from delivering backend features to owning platform architecture, particularly in Identity & Access Management (IAM), cloud-native systems, and payment-grade services where correctness and security are non-negotiable.

I care deeply about:

• Designing systems that scale across teams, not just services
• Making secure defaults the easiest path
• Reducing onboarding friction through platform automation
• Building systems that are boring to operate — because they just work

Currently, I work at Visa, leading IAM platform initiatives and GenAI-powered automation to accelerate product onboarding while maintaining enterprise-grade security.

• Identity & Access Management (IAM) platforms
• OAuth2, delegated authorization, passkeys & FIDO authentication
• Secure, high-throughput backend services
• Metadata-driven and runtime-configurable architectures
• Platform enablement for multi-product ecosystems

• 80–90% faster onboarding via GenAI-powered IAM automation
• 75% reduction in time-to-market through a next-gen IAM Metadata Platform
• 25% infrastructure cost savings by centralizing IAM and automating PaaS workflows
• 10+ products onboarded in under a quarter using platform-led enablement

I focus on leverage — solving problems once at the platform level instead of repeatedly at the product level.

GenAI-Powered IAM Automation
Built a GenAI-driven system that converts plain English requirements into IAM configurations, enabling true self-service onboarding while eliminating manual configuration errors.

IAM Metadata Platform (Runtime Configuration)
Designed a metadata-driven IAM platform that decouples configuration from deployment. This removed tight coupling between services and enabled runtime changes without redeployments.

GenAI L1 Support Agent
Architected a RAG-based L1 support agent that auto-processes inbound support emails, generates enriched JIRA tickets, recommends resolutions for recurring issues, and attaches diagnostics such as logs and snapshots—significantly reducing operational toil.

Delegated & Biometric Authorization Foundations
Enhanced IAM flows with FIDO-based biometric authentication, laying the groundwork for delegated authorization and agent-driven workflows in future payment systems.

• Platforms should make the right thing easy by default
• Security and reliability are design choices, not add-ons
• Metadata scales better than hard-coded logic
• If a system needs constant heroics, the design isn’t finished
• The best platforms quietly enable teams to move faster

• Java (Primary) — enterprise-grade backend development

• Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices
• Multithreading & concurrency
• JPA, Hibernate
• MongoDB, MySQL

• OAuth2 & delegated authorization
• Identity & Access Management
• Passkeys & FIDO authentication

• AWS
• Docker & Kubernetes
• CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins)
• Git-based workflows

• RAG-based systems
• OpenAI & Claude integrations
• Copilot Studio
• AI-assisted platform automation

• M.S. in Computer Science Engineering — Distributed systems & platform engineering
• PG Certification — AI/ML & Generative AI
• B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering

I continuously invest in systems design, AI-assisted engineering, and platform thinking.
