PythonLangGraphLlama 3.1FastAPINode.jsAWS ECSKubernetesRedis
- Architected a production Multi-Agent Research Discovery Engine (LangGraph + Llama 3.1 70B) that semantically maps global researcher collaboration networks by indexing millions of papers from Elsevier's (Science Direct/Scopus), enabling cross-institutional discovery at a scale previously requiring manual curation.
- Improved scientific query accuracy by 40% by engineering a Multi-Agent Search Router with hybrid retrieval, combining BGE-M3 dense embeddings with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to resolve ambiguous cross-domain nomenclature lookups.
- Sustained 99.9% uptime at 3,000+ RPS by building a horizontally scaled async pipeline (Node.js + FastAPI on AWS ECS) with fault-isolated workers and circuit-breaker patterns.
- Reduced P99 retrieval latency by 78% (450ms to <100ms) by designing a Write-Through Redis caching strategy for multi-hop Chain-of-Retrieval queries across chained LangGraph agent calls.
- Cut deployment lead times by 65% by owning the full CI/CD lifecycle, containerizing stateful LLM workloads on Kubernetes with zero-downtime rolling deploys.

FastAPIAWS ECS (Fargate)AsyncIORedisDockerKubernetes
- Built a FastAPI microservice on AWS ECS (Fargate) using AsyncIO to parallelize data fetching from 5+ external APIs, slashing P99 latency from 450ms to <100ms.
- Deployed a Redis Write-Through caching layer with custom TTL eviction policies, handling >3,000 RPS with sub-millisecond retrieval times.
- Modernized CI/CD pipelines using Docker and Kubernetes, enabling zero-downtime blue-green deployments.

PythonJupyterML pipelines
- Mentored 50+ graduate students on Distributed System design patterns and algorithmic efficiency (Big O optimization); conducted code reviews for scalable ML pipeline implementations.
- Collaborated with faculty to design assignments on real-world ML workflows including data preprocessing pipelines and model evaluation metrics.
- Wrote Python scripts to automate grading of Jupyter notebooks, reducing feedback turnaround time by 40%.
Software Engineer
Wipro Limited (Client: Shell PLC)
Jul 2021 – Feb 2023

JavaApache KafkaSalesforceApexLWCPostgreSQLAWS S3
- Delivered zero data-loss maritime telemetry for Shell PLC by architecting a fault-tolerant Apache Kafka pipeline processing 115GB/day of extraction and shipment data across 200+ offshore crude oil stations in Brazil.
- Reduced support ticket volume by 35% across 500+ vendors by launching a Self-Service Portal with automated credential lifecycle management and real-time KPI dashboards.
- Increased system fault tolerance by 39% by decomposing a legacy monolithic Salesforce integration into event-driven Apex Async Micro-functions, eliminating cascading failures.
- Reduced production incidents by 25% by engineering a defensive ETL validation layer that quarantines malformed payloads to an S3 Dead Letter Queue.
- Engineered automated workflows for Shell's Self-Help Portal, integrating cross-platform APIs to reduce ITIL service requests by 45%.
