Cloud Platforms & Data Engineering
Designing scalable Azure and AWS data platforms — from ingestion to ML-ready lakehouses and real-time analytics serving hundreds of users.
03 — Python Backend
Python Engineering & API Architecture
Writing and shipping FastAPI microservices daily — the hands-on engineering layer behind AI data access, cloud integrations, and enterprise automation.
04 — Delivery & Leadership
Architecture & Technical Program Management
Operating as architect and TPM on the same engagement — aligning stakeholders, governing delivery, and staying active in the codebase throughout.

July 2023 – Present
Infosys Technologies
Intel Corporation & Global Foundries · Dallas, TX
FastAPI microservices, hands-on: Write and ship production FastAPI services daily — API routing, Pydantic models, dependency injection, middleware, and OpenAPI docs — as the AI data-access and orchestration layer for enterprise RAG and agentic workflows, cutting retrieval latency by 40%.
Azure platform & security: Deploy services on Azure App Services and Azure Functions behind API Management, using Key Vault, Azure Storage, and Azure SQL/PostgreSQL for persistence; secure service-to-service and third-party calls with Entra ID App Registrations, managed identities, service principals, and RBAC.
Async & event-driven integration: Build Logic Apps and Power Automate flows plus event-driven patterns to orchestrate cross-system business processes (ticketing, notifications, data sync), removing manual handoffs between AI services and enterprise systems.
Testing, code review & production support: Write pytest unit, API, and integration tests; lead pull-request reviews across the services team; instrument Application Insights and Log Analytics, and personally triage production incidents, performance bottlenecks, and integration failures.
AI-assisted engineering & velocity: Leverage Claude AI and GitHub Copilot daily for rapid API prototyping, test script generation, refactoring, and automated documentation, reducing development cycle time while maintaining strict PR review discipline and code quality.
Agentic AI & data platform: Built multi-step agentic automation (LangChain + GPT-4o) and led Azure data platform modernization (ADF, Synapse, Databricks); migrated 200+ users to Power BI, cutting report generation time by 50%.
Delivery leadership: Operate as dual TPM + hands-on developer on the same engagement — owning stakeholder alignment and delivery governance while staying active in the codebase.
Lead Data & Analytics Architect / Technology Project Manager
May 2022 – June 2023
Infosys Technologies
Microsoft Corporation · Bellevue, WA
API & platform engineering: Built and supported REST APIs and Python services on Azure App Services and Azure Functions, processing millions of records daily with high availability and data integrity.
Secrets & identity: Standardized Key Vault-based secrets/config management and Azure AD service authentication across pipelines and services, eliminating hard-coded credentials.
Workflow orchestration: Used Logic Apps and event-driven triggers to connect upstream ingestion to downstream reporting systems across multi-stage data workflows.
CI/CD & release readiness: Partnered with DevOps on Azure DevOps pipelines, environment configuration, and rollback/release planning for production deployments.
Stakeholder engineering & delivery: Worked directly with Microsoft senior engineering leadership on technical architecture; embedded Agile practices, improving sprint velocity by 25%; delivered high-visibility projects on time and budget while filling both PM and architect roles.
Python Backend Developer & API Architect
February 2017 – May 2022
Infosys Technologies
Microsoft Corporation · Hyderabad, India & Bellevue, WA
Python/FastAPI adoption: Personally led the team's shift from monolithic ETL scripts to Python REST APIs and microservices — Flask initially, then FastAPI as it matured — writing Pydantic-based request/response validation and async I/O for high-throughput services.
Data-access & migrations: Designed the SQLAlchemy/ORM data-access layer with Alembic schema migrations and repository patterns, replacing ad hoc SQL with testable, maintainable service code.
Azure deployment & security: Deployed to Azure App Services and Azure Functions; centralized secrets and API keys in Azure Key Vault, and used Azure AD App Registrations for service-to-service authentication across dev/test/prod.
Async processing & automation: Built background jobs and schedulers for batch processing, and automated recurring approval/notification workflows with Power Automate and Logic Apps, cutting manual coordination effort.
Testing & CI/CD: Wrote unit and integration tests, stood up Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, and owned API versioning and governance as services matured from scripts to production platforms.
Data pipelines: Established reusable ingestion patterns that cut new pipeline onboarding time by 30%; built ML-ready pipelines supporting model training, evaluation, and production deployment.
Data Engineer & Analytics Lead
November 2011 – February 2017
Infosys Technologies
Microsoft Corporation · Hyderabad, India
Data architecture: Designed enterprise data engineering frameworks on Azure and AWS for large-scale batch and real-time workloads.
Operations & quality: Led AMS support, ETL development, and data quality initiatives ensuring high availability for reporting and analytics.
Technical mentorship: Mentored junior engineers and established coding/architecture standards later carried into the team's API and cloud modernization work.
