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

Performance
Tuning microservices for throughput and tail latency in real time
Leadership
Led founding software team from 0 to 1
Work Experience
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.
Software Engineer - Full Stack (Internship)
Cognizant
Bengaluru
- Built modular front-end features for client applications and implemented automated test coverage that reduced production issues by ~20%.
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.
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.
Cipher
Intelligent conversational AI and crime analytics platform — natural-language querying over crime data paired with analytics dashboards.
