Senior Software Engineer | 8+ Years Experience | GenAI, Distributed Systems, Backend Engineering

I am a Senior Software Engineer

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend systems, distributed architectures, and AI-powered products. My core expertise lies at the intersection of backend engineering, Generative AI, and large-scale distributed systems. I have hands-on experience with:

• LLMs
• AI agents
• RAG
• MCP
• prompt engineering
• Golang
• Java
• Python
• microservices
• cloud infrastructure
• event-driven systems
• search platforms
• observability

My Work at Booking.com

At Booking.com, I work on complex, business-critical systems that serve millions of requests. I have developed AI-powered travel solutions using LLMs and the MCP protocol to understand user intent and deliver personalised recommendations. I have also led the ground-up redesign of large-scale systems, authored architecture and migration strategies, and designed zero-downtime migrations across multiple services, data pipelines, and hundreds of database tables.

Previous Experience

Previously, I built a high-performance candidate search engine over 80M+ profiles using Golang, Kafka, and Elasticsearch, achieving 12ms p99 latency at production scale. I have also led monolith-to-microservices migrations, optimised high-latency systems, reduced infrastructure and query costs, and built reliable event-driven architectures.

My Passion

I enjoy solving challenging technical problems and transforming complex business requirements into simple, scalable, and reliable systems. I am particularly passionate about applying AI and emerging technologies to solve real-world problems and build intelligent products. I am looking to connect with teams working on ambitious problems in Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Backend Engineering, Distributed Systems, Platform Engineering, and System Architecture, where I can contribute both as a hands-on engineer and a technical leader.
