Where I've worked.
Lyzr AI
Full-time · Bengaluru, IndiaMember of Technical Staff● Now
Building production-grade AI systems end to end with customers — from backend infrastructure to the interfaces on top.
Backend Engineer Intern
Architected production-ready AI infrastructure and multi-agent orchestration systems.
Notes on systems & software.
What FDE Actually Looks Like
"It works on my infrastructure" is where the easy part ends and the actual job begins. A long, honest look at what a forward deployed engineer really does once the demo is over and you are standing inside someone else's environment.
Rate Limiting at Scale
It started at 2am with one runaway client. A hands-on walk through rate limiting — from a naive counter to a distributed token bucket that holds up across a fleet — with a live simulator you can go break yourself.
Why Do We Even Need a Backend?
A simple, real-world explanation of why backend systems exist, focusing on browser sandboxing, security, compute limits, and trust boundaries.
What I've been shipping.
Let's build something worth shipping.
A backend that needs to scale, an AI system to design, or just a good conversation about engineering — I'd like to hear from you.
