I build high-performance backends, EV charging platforms, and AI-driven systems. 3 years turning messy real-time problems into clean, fast, observable systems — from OCPP/OCPI charging networks to Beckn energy trading.
About
Software Developer with 3 years of experience building high-performance backend systems, EV charging platforms, and AI-driven applications. Skilled in Python, FastAPI, and cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience in real-time systems using Redis and RabbitMQ. Proven expertise in Generative AI integration and protocols including OCPP, OCPI, and Beckn.
I care about the unglamorous parts that make products actually work: response times, queue backpressure, idempotent settlements, and health checks that page you before customers do. Most of my work lives at the intersection of energy infrastructure and applied AI.
