Technical Lead at BeyondIRR · OSS Contributor

I write backend systems for a living and open source tools for the satisfaction work rarely gives — turns out people use them, which is still a bit strange to process.

Experience

BeyondIRR

Technical Lead

Aug 2024 – Present

›Extended the core Django backend to run multi-tenant. The same codebase now drives shared SaaS infrastructure for 10K+ clients and spins up isolated stacks for 8+ enterprise customers who need their own deployments.
›Refactored the monolith into a distributable Python library with Flask microservices around it. Clients get custom behaviour without forked codebases, and onboarding changes that used to take a month are done in a week.
›Designed a multi-agent orchestration system in PydanticAI and FastAPI, layered on top of the RAG pipeline, running analytical workflows across Rs. 14,000+ crore in client portfolios.

Founding Engineer

May 2023 – Aug 2024

›Rewrote the core REST API layer from scratch after repeated timeouts in production. Response times dropped from 4s to 200ms for the analytics queries the platform depends on.
›Built the Celery-based ETL pipeline from nothing. It now ingests 80K+ investment accounts every day across custodians with incompatible schemas, inconsistent column names, and no common standard to lean on.

GSoC Mentor

2022 – Present

›Mentored contributors across 4 GSoC editions (2022–2025), helping them scope realistic projects, get comfortable in an unfamiliar codebase, and ship work that lands in main.
›A lot of the role is keeping contributors moving through the summer so the work doesn't quietly trail off before the finish line.

GSoC Contributor

2021

›Designed the plugin architecture for Scancode.io so external license detection tools could register and run without touching core. GoLicense-Classifier was the reference implementation.
›Came back as a mentor the following year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Still here.

Gap Inc.

Software Engineer Intern

May 2022 – Jul 2022

›Worked on Spring Boot APIs over Azure Management Platform to automate user provisioning, feeding an internal IAM dashboard used for access management across the org.
›Handled the Azure Active Directory integration for identity management, with role-based access control wired through on the backend.
