Where I've worked

March 2024 - Present

Mithila Stack

Backend Engineer

Working on the backend of multiple production systems across different domains — hiring-tech, healthtech, edtech, and food-tech.

Built and shipped four products from scratch — Meleys (AI interview and assessment platform), MARS (medication adherence platform with AI-driven patient follow-ups), iPariksha (online examination system with automated evaluation), and Foodam (a city-level tiffin and food ordering service). Owned the backend end to end on all of them — API design, database, async workflows, third-party integrations, and deployment.

Day to day I work with Node.js, NestJS, Express.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and BullMQ. Most of the work has involved real-time systems, background job processing, and integrating AI services into practical workflows.

Selected work

Platforms I've built. All in production.

Meleys

Hiring-Techmeleys.in

An AI-powered interview and evaluation platform with real-time proctoring. Handles candidate screening, live interviews, and automated scoring against role-specific criteria.

Built a real-time interview system with event-driven architecture for low-latency activity capture. The scoring engine evaluates candidates against custom criteria per role, and the system handles multiple concurrent sessions without performance drops.

MARS

Healthcaremars.ai-clinic.tech

A medication adherence platform that automates patient reminders with AI-generated video calls. A custom doctor avatar delivers medication reminders, states precautions, and handles follow-ups - fully automated end to end.

Built background processing for time-based, retry-safe task execution at scale. The AI agent system generates personalized video calls using D-ID and Azure AI. Deployed with isolated services, role-based access control, and secure handling of sensitive healthcare data.

iPariksha

EdTechipariksha.com

An examination platform for conducting large-scale online tests with automated evaluation. Handles test creation, submission processing, result generation, and integrated payment flows.

Designed backend systems for large-scale examinations. Structured workflows for test creation, submission handling, and result generation. Integrated Razorpay payment and payout flow into the core system while maintaining reliability and enforcing clear role boundaries.

TiffinDost

FoodTech

A meal subscription aggregator connecting users to local kitchens for daily tiffin delivery. Handles subscription management, kitchen partnerships, and delivery coordination.

Subscription logic is deceptively tricky. Pause, resume, skip, swap kitchen - all without breaking billing state. Built with a small team and shipped to production in weeks.

How I work

Backend engineering is about decisions, not just code.

Things break, plan for it

Queues have retries. Tasks have fallbacks. Auth has layers. I build assuming something will go wrong, because in production, it usually does.

Get the data model right first

Schema decisions shape everything else. I spend time on data models before writing routes - fixing a bad schema later costs way more.

Ship it, then make it better

A working system teaches you more than a design doc. I get something real out fast, then improve based on what actually happens.
