Experience
Senior Data Engineer at Freshflow, Remote, Germany
At Freshflow, I maintain and evolve end-to-end data pipelines — from ingestion to insights — ensuring reliable and efficient ETL workflows. I design parsers for diverse retail data, manage large-scale transformations using DBT and BigQuery, and orchestrate workflows with Airflow. My work bridges data engineering and AI delivery, driving both operational stability and product innovation.
Senior Software Engineer at Awake Mobility, Munich, Germany
At Awake Mobility, I developed and maintained high-performance FastAPI applications, improving reliability by 30% and reducing API response times by 40%. I designed data pipelines to decode and process CAN data from buses, enabling advanced analytics and automation. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I contributed to system enhancements that strengthened product stability and scalability
Specialist Backend Developer at Avira Operations GmbH, Tettnang, Germany
During my tenure, the company underwent several acquisitions — starting as Avira, then becoming part of NortonLifeLock, and later Gen Digital. I continued in my role as a Specialist Backend Developer throughout these transitions, contributing to core backend services, microservice architecture, and data-driven reputation systems across all company phases.
I developed and maintained microservices powering threat intelligence reputation scoring for entities like URLs, IPs, and files. By integrating OpenSearch and Kibana monitoring, I reduced downtime by 30% and improved system reliability. My work spanned scalable code development, CI/CD deployments with Docker, and AWS-based service management across multiple environments.
Software Engineer at Tarams Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, India
As a backend engineer, I led the design and development of scalable RESTful APIs and optimized system performance across multiple projects. I mentored junior developers, implemented robust testing suites, and ensured high code quality through regular reviews. Key projects included building data-driven platforms such as Algo to You, Truelink Financial Scraper, and LinkedIn Crawler using Python and Flask.
Sr. Python Developer at Uniserved Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, India
I developed internal software tools that enhanced team efficiency and reduced operational costs across multiple projects. By introducing innovative process improvements and building solutions like a Resume Parser and Static Website Generator, I streamlined workflows and optimized internal operations. These projects leveraged technologies such as Python, Django, NLP, and AWS services.
Research Engineer at Castalia Research Labs Private Limited, Pune, India
I developed custom automation and vision systems using multiple hardware platforms, improving production efficiency by 15%. I was involved in the complete lifecycle — from design and development to on-site installation and validation. These industrial automation solutions were built using Python, Raspberry Pi, and GPIO programming.
