Work Experience
Back-end Developer
Topkey, Inc.
- Engineered features across a multi-tenant fintech platform handling millions of financial records, reconciling transactions, vendor payments, and owner statements with strict performance and data-isolation guarantees.
- Built AI/LLM-powered workflows for automated transaction categorization and accounting suggestions using vector embeddings, semantic similarity search (Qdrant), and RAG, feedback loops, and evaluation datasets to continuously improve model accuracy.
- Implemented LLM-driven document extraction to parse invoices, statements, and PDFs into structured financial data, reducing manual data entry.
- Integrated 20+ third-party APIs across banking (Plaid, Stripe, Unit.co, Column, and Amex), PMS (Guesty, Hostaway, and Track), and accounting (QuickBooks, NetSuite), designing idempotent, retry-safe background jobs for financial operations.
- Developed responsive, real-time UI with Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus), ViewComponent, and Tailwind CSS, delivering server-rendered interactivity without a heavy SPA framework.
- Optimized queries on high-volume tables via composite indexing, EXPLAIN-verified pagination, and async job offloading, eliminating N+1S and preventing production timeouts.
- Wrote comprehensive RSpec request/service specs and enforced code quality with RuboCop in a CI-driven workflow.
Full-stack Developer
N.O.N. Administration LLC
- Implemented the user's identity authentication workflow to validate whether the user's identity was valid or not by capturing the front and back of the identity card along with face image recognition.
- Took decisions to set up the project's architecture, including AWS Secrets Manager for secrets, DynamoDB for the data layer, AWS S3 for object storage, and AWS EC2 for application deployment.
- Integrated third-party APIs to validate the user's identity and stored the corresponding results in the AWS DynamoDB and AWS S3.
- Set up the front-end and back-end applications on the EC2 server, including NGINX as a web server. I also put together domain and SSL integrations in the GoDaddy domain registrar and mapped them with the EC2 instance.
Software Engineer
Gartner

- Developed a portal, enabling users to register to events using multiple payment gateways and used WebSockets to reflect the seat availability on the UI.
- Used WebSockets to create two-way communication between multiple devices.
- Developed a Chrome extension to download a certain number of videos in the background using Web Workers.
