SDE at Jsmon · Backend Infrastructure
I'm interested in how AI changes the way software systems are designed, maintained, and scaled — especially around memory, reliability, and developer workflows. Currently building security infrastructure at Jsmon, where I work on distributed systems, database migrations, and high-throughput ingestion pipelines.
What I'm Interested In
- Infrastructure for AI systems
- Developer tooling
- Memory/context systems
- Backend reliability
- Distributed systems
- Execution velocity with AI
Experience
Software Development Engineer I
Jsmon- ▹Designed a distributed event-driven microservices platform using Redis queues, enabling independently scalable asynchronous backend workflows.
- ▹Developed an Aggregator service for distributed workflow orchestration, retries, and failure recovery across asynchronous backend services.
- ▹Led the design and implementation of a centralized PostgreSQL Writer for asynchronous persistence, batched SQL execution, and Redis cache invalidation, sustaining production workloads exceeding 2,000 queued jobs/sec.
- ▹Architected a normalized PostgreSQL schema and led the migration from MongoDB to PostgreSQL, supporting 500M+ records while reducing worst-case query latency from 10 minutes to 25 seconds through schema redesign and SQL optimization.
- ▹Built a distributed ingestion pipeline using AWS EC2 workers to collect Common Crawl and Wayback Machine data, storing append-heavy datasets in ClickHouse for security analytics.
Technical Intern
Cisco Systems- ▹Built a CLI tool mapping legacy TDL configurations to YANG models, reducing Cisco IOS-XE migration lookup time from hours to 30 seconds.
- ▹Built a FastAPI dashboard visualizing TDL-to-YANG migration progress and test coverage.
FTC – Technology Intern
Fidelity International- ▹Designed private key management strategies and reverse-engineered the MetaMask extension for a custom custodian crypto wallet.
- ▹Implemented secure backend infrastructure on AWS for managing high-value digital assets.
Software Engineer Intern
Siemens- ▹Built 'ChatConnect,' a full-stack real-time messaging application using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL.
Selected Projects
ContextOS
AI Memory Layer- ▹Built an AI memory layer implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for persistent, low-latency context retrieval across repositories.
- ▹Architected a hybrid semantic retrieval engine combining SQLite FTS5 (BM25), identifier-aware search, graph expansion, and intent-aware ranking for low-latency retrieval across large codebases.
ThrottleX
Distributed API Scheduling Platform- ▹Designed a distributed scheduler maximizing throughput while enforcing third-party API rate limits.
- ▹Architected a Redis-backed scheduler combining time-weighted priority queues, Deficit Round Robin (DRR), tenant isolation, and atomic Lua-based dequeuing to ensure fair, fault-tolerant request scheduling.
