Work Experience
Software Engineer
Indus Valley Partners
- Engineered a scalable portfolio management platform using .NET Core, C#, RESTful backend services, SQL (query optimization), and Angular UI — tracking $35B AUM across 6,000+ issuers and 35,000 assets.
- Designed investment/portfolio workflows for 500+ portfolio companies and 100K+ positions, including a Day-0 ingestion workflow that cut manual effort by 80%+ and shortened operational cycles from days to minutes.
- Built cross-system data exchange workflows distributing balance-sheet and financial datasets across internal platforms, improving interoperability and ensuring consistent data delivery for downstream analytics.
- Implemented Azure-based ingestion/processing (App Services, Data Factory, Service Bus, Blob Storage, Azure Functions) with automated ETL-style workflows including retries and production-grade reliability.
- Built real-time WebSocket updates (SignalR) and Redis-backed caching layer for low-latency API responsiveness; designed an event-driven async order-processing workflow using Blob Storage + Service Bus + Azure Functions.
- Delivered real-time portfolio dashboards collaborating with Product/QA; enforced code review standards; supported deployments via Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.

Featured Projects
FinSight AI – Financial Analysis & RAG Intelligence Engine
High-concurrency async backend exposing REST endpoints for financial Q&A and document analysis, featuring JWT auth, Redis caching, Hybrid RAG retrieval (dense + BM25), and a model-agnostic LLM layer (Groq Llama-3 / Ollama). Containerised with Docker Compose; streaming Next.js chat UI.
Event-Driven Data Pipeline – Music Streaming Analytics
Python event simulator producing high-volume JSON streaming events to Apache Kafka; real-time Spark Structured Streaming pipeline writing to BigQuery (Bronze layer). Orchestrated with Airflow DAGs; full stack containerised with Docker Compose.
Real-Time Stock Reporting & Analysis System
AWS Kinesis Firehose streams stock data to S3; Azure Data Factory orchestrates ETL into Databricks (PySpark + Delta Lake). Advanced metrics (VWAP, price trends) via window functions; interactive Power BI dashboards for daily/monthly/quarterly analysis.
Automated Security Testing CI/CD Pipeline
CI/CD pipeline triggered on PRs — builds & pushes images to ECR, runs Dockerfile linting, secrets scanning, and vulnerability scanning with AWS Security Hub integration. Feedback loops via CloudWatch Events + Lambda.
Vulnerability Testing & Analysis – Serverless Computing
React + DynamoDB web app enabling users to run vulnerability tests on their servers. Amazon API Gateway + Lambda (Python) executes tests server-side; results returned via REST API.
QuantaCrypt – Breaking RSA with Quantum Computing
Web application that breaks RSA-encrypted text using IBM Quantum Computer via Shor's Algorithm to factorize the public key — demonstrating quantum decryption without a private key.
Sarvakaraum – Regional Language Compiler
System enabling users to write C/C++ code in Indian regional languages (Hindi, Marathi). Hosted on AWS Amplify; compiler deployed on EC2; documentation/ebooks stored on S3.
