About Me

I'm a Backend / Full-Stack Software Engineer with 4+ years of full-time experience designing and shipping production systems on Google Cloud, Firebase, and modern TypeScript stacks.

I've owned architecture from day one on enterprise integration platforms, AI-driven analytics products, and multi-tenant SaaS — and I've foundation-authored a distributed Go automation system before mentoring its handover. The work I value most sits where ambiguity, scale, and ownership meet.

The Journey

I grew up in Punjab, India, studied IT at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, and started writing production code part-time in 2020 — before stepping into engineering full-time at Auribises in mid-2022. The next three and a half years were the formative ones: architectural ownership across four client platforms and the foundation of a Go automation system that handed off cleanly to a junior engineer.

In early 2024 I moved to Melbourne, Australia to start a Master of IT at Swinburne — and kept building. The Masters didn't pause the engineering work; the two ran in parallel for nearly two years. The capstone project, where I inherited a stalled multi-cohort codebase and shipped client-ready in five weeks, was the clearest signal that ownership scales whether the work is for a paying client or an academic partner.

I'm now based in Melbourne on a contract role at WebAlive, doing containerisation R&D and Playwright E2E automation.


Experience

Containerisation R&D and E2E test automation for an enterprise SaaS billing product and a proprietary CMS platform.

  • ▸Designing Docker Compose foundations for a Grails-based billing platform, scoped as the first step toward a Terraform-driven AWS rollout
  • ▸Authoring Dockerfile build strategies that keep the Grails backend reliably wired to RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, and MariaDB
  • ▸Migrating multi-environment service configs from production hosts to local containers without disrupting active development
  • ▸Building Playwright E2E coverage for a proprietary CMS, replacing manual QA passes with reproducible release gates

Full-time

Auribises Technologies

Jul 2022 – Feb 2026

Architectural ownership across four production platforms — an enterprise SAP-integrated product/pricing sync platform, an AI receipt-analytics product, an online mental-health platform, and a multi-tenant parking SaaS — plus the foundation of a distributed Go automation system.

  • ▸Led an enterprise SAP-integrated product/pricing sync platform from scratch: event-driven pipeline, idempotent retries, and concurrent batch processing with per-batch failure isolation
  • ▸Designed and shipped an AI receipt-analytics product processing ~10K receipts/month at ~81% extraction accuracy on Google Vision AI + GCP
  • ▸Owned the backend on an online mental-health platform — billing, settlement, refund, and notification flows across 300+ production commits
  • ▸Built a multi-tenant parking SaaS that handles 15K+ monthly transactions across 78 lots, on Firestore + Cloud Functions
  • ▸Foundation-authored a distributed Go automation system (multi-process orchestration, port allocation, Firestore state machine) and handed it off to a junior engineer with structured mentorship
