I'm a Staff Software Engineer working at the intersection of AI agents and AI security. Based in Bengaluru, originally from Jamshedpur.
How I got here
I graduated from Maharishi Markandeshwar University in 2018 with a B.Tech in Computer Science. Started at Infosys on the C# / Java training track, then self-learned AngularJS and shipped my first production code fixes.
In January 2019 I joined Barracuda Networks as an Associate Software Engineer. I worked on the WAF release stream — Perl and Python automation, modernising legacy AngularJS surfaces, self-learning React on the job. By mid-2021 I was a Software Engineer, and I was sent abroad (the youngest on the team at the time) to take end-to-end ownership of a project hand-off. In June 2023 I moved up to Senior Software Engineer. In June 2026 I stepped up to Staff Software Engineer — the work below is what got me there.
What I'm working on now
I'm the sole architect of an MCP server with RAG that turns Barracuda's 20,596-line WAAS OpenAPI spec into something Claude and other MCP-compatible agents can query in natural language. Custom RAG pipeline, 21-intent evaluation harness, JWKS auth, three-service Docker deployment with Kustomize overlays for public vs private cloud.
I also pitched, prototyped, and shipped the multi-tenant migration that cut our SaaS VM cost by ~60% — one of the pieces of work I'm most proud of, because the leverage ratio (small architectural change → very large recurring saving) is exactly what I find satisfying.
Beyond work
On weekends I build small personal projects — Kosha (a personal investment tracker) and Event Planner (a shared budget PWA we used for our own wedding). Both live in production on Supabase's free tier. If you like pattern-matching to see how I think about code, they're a reasonable window.
Where I spend time thinking
The intersection of AI agents and application security is where the work gets most interesting for me. MCP server design that survives production traffic, RAG evaluation harnesses that go beyond vibes, prompt-injection defense at the middleware layer, and multi-tenant platform economics — those are the problem spaces I keep coming back to. If you're building in any of these areas, or want to compare notes, drop me a line.
