Experience
- Automated sales conversations and dominated vacancy/job-related traffic by building Cody, a multi-turn, tool-calling WhatsApp AI agent (Flask + Claude Haiku) that processed INR/UPI pricing queries and mirrored Hindi/Hinglish based on detected user language — with a live monitoring dashboard for real-time visibility into conversations, tool invocations, and failure modes.
- Built and maintained a production Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing 10 tools, powering Career-Agents — an open-source AI Career OS with 167+ specialized AI agents across 19 divisions, global CLI on NPM, and Spoken Voice Lab supporting 27 languages.
- Engineered scalable REST APIs and backend services using Node.js, Express.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, designing for high availability, horizontal scalability, and concurrent workloads across 10+ live projects.
- Architected authentication systems (JWT, RBAC, OAuth 2.0) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker), cutting release cycles from days to hours.
- Led and mentored 40+ interns and junior developers across 10+ live Agile projects, establishing sprint workflows, PR standards, and structured onboarding.
- Built technical SEO infrastructure including JSON-LD structured data, Next.js sitemap generation, llms.txt for AI crawler discoverability, and Lighthouse optimization for all production deployments.
Stack: Claude API, MCP Server, Agentic AI, Flask, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker
- Launched and engineered a full-scale multi-tenant EdTech SaaS platform serving students, educators, recruiters, and administrators across universities affiliated with VTU, Bangalore University, and Mysore University; officially listed on the AICTE National Internship Portal.
- Built comprehensive LMS modules for course management, assessments, certifications, admissions, and internship tracking using Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB with ISR caching.
- Implemented granular RBAC for five distinct user roles (Students, Mentors, Recruiters, Faculty, Administrators), enforcing data isolation and permission-level security across all platform modules.
- Integrated PhonePe payment gateway with idempotent transaction handling and webhook-based payment confirmation, delivering reliable and duplicate-free payment workflows.
- Built automation workflows for student onboarding, application processing, email notifications, and certificate generation — eliminating manual operations.
Stack: Next.js, Multi-Tenant SaaS, RBAC, PhonePe, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, LMS
