Software Engineer • Backend & Distributed Systems

Hi, I'm Sunny

Building low-latency backend services, distributed systems, and agentic AI applications — shipping production systems from zero to one.

Bengaluru, India

About Me

Software Engineer with 3+ years building low-latency backend services, distributed systems, and agentic AI applications across Python, Go, and Next.js. Experienced in shipping production systems from zero-to-one, optimizing microservice performance for real-time cybersecurity workloads, and translating cutting-edge research (LangGraph, LLMs, MCP) into shipped products.

Comfortable navigating complex codebases, designing for performance and reliability, and executing with autonomy in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Software Engineer - Applications

Nivetti Systems Private Limited

Bengaluru

  • Designing and building agentic AI systems using LangGraph and LLMs — translating research-stage primitives (autonomous agent loops, multi-agent pipelines, MCP tool orchestration) into production product features.
  • Optimized backend microservices in a real-time cybersecurity product, improving throughput and tail latency under heavy network traffic workloads.
  • Designed and shipped resilient APIs and data pipelines using Python, Go, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Kafka/RabbitMQ — focusing on reliability, observability, and graceful degradation under load.
  • Built an end-to-end GUI for Nivetti Switches, enabling network admins to configure and monitor hardware with significantly faster onboarding.
  • Developed a network compliance checking tool end-to-end — registering switches and routers, running automated compliance checks, and delivering audit results.

Software Engineer - Full Stack

EMO.energy

Bengaluru

  • Founding software engineer — owned architecture and delivery of EMO's first product, SENS, taking it from zero-to-one in an ambiguous, fast-moving startup environment.
  • Designed the distributed backend (FastAPI, Redis, MongoDB on AWS) and led the team to the first production release; established service boundaries, caching strategy, and deployment pipeline.
  • Drove engineering process improvements that reduced feature delivery time by ~30%, improving iteration speed without compromising code quality.

Featured Projects

Multi-Modal Evidence Reviewer

AI damage-claim verification: a two-stage pipeline separates visual perception (a VLM emits objective observations, no verdict) from judgment (an LLM compares claimed vs observed), behind pydantic schema enforcement. A deterministic merge layer holds final authority and a heuristic fallback guarantees valid output — running entirely on local models at $0 API cost.

PythonOllamaQwen2.5-VLPydantic

Message Notification Router

Notification triage for a WhatsApp-style multimodal stream (text, images, voice notes) into notify / digest / mute. A deterministic 12-trigger risk layer with prompt-injection defense wraps schema-enforced LLM perception and reasoning, and committed caches reproduce the full output bit-identically with zero API calls.

CodeSphere

A cloud IDE platform where code meets reality: real-world debugging scenarios (memory leaks, race conditions, slow queries), an AI Socratic tutor that hints without spoiling, code playback, and glass-box analytics that show how a candidate thinks — not just whether tests pass.

AI Mail Copilot

An AI co-pilot for email that drives the interface itself — filling the compose form, drafting and refining replies, and acting on the mailbox rather than just chatting about it.
