Hey folks,
I’m a backend engineer with ~8 years of experience, currently looking to join an early-stage startup as a founding engineer.
Most of my work has been building and scaling systems from scratch — I enjoy owning problems end-to-end rather than working on isolated pieces.
Recently, I was a founding backend engineer at a crypto analytics platform where I:
* Built the backend and data systems from 0 → production
* Scaled infrastructure handling multiple terabytes datasets
* Designed event-driven systems and high-throughput APIs
* Brought API latency down significantly (sub-100ms p90) while reducing infra costs
* Owned AWS architecture, reliability, and backend direction during early growth
* Tech stack I’m strongest in:
— Python (Django, FastAPI), SQL
— PostgreSQL (partitioning, performance), Redis
— AWS (ECS, SQS/SNS, S3, RDS, Kinesis, etc.)
— Distributed systems, async workflows, data pipelines
Lately, I’ve been exploring AI infrastructure / GenAI systems, especially how they integrate with real-world data platforms.
What I’m looking for:
Early-stage startups (0→1 or early scale)
High ownership across backend, infra, and architecture
Problems involving data systems, infra, or AI
Small, strong teams that move fast
Location: Open to remote or India-based roles
If you’re building something interesting — or know someone who is — I’d love to connect.
