Backend / Platform Engineer
Software Development Engineer I at House Works Technology · Remote (India)
I own backend architecture and infrastructure end to end on a HIPAA-aligned multi-tenant healthcare SaaS. I led a greenfield authentication and authorization platform from architecture through production deployment. It uses self-hosted Keycloak with custom Java SPIs, multi-tenant SSO with IdP federation, and SpiceDB-based ReBAC. On my own time I build voice and agentic AI projects like Mira and Fieldnotes.
Selected Work
Mira
Browser-based voice agent (Tavus CVI) backed by a FastAPI service that runs seven tool-calling booking functions, persists transcripts, and writes an LLM call summary.
Fieldnotes
An LLM pipeline that scores a job posting against your resume and returns an APPLY, CONSIDER, or SKIP verdict with evidence. It ships both a deterministic DAG and an agentic flow (planner, then executor, then synthesizer) over the same steps.
HIPAA Guardian
A PHI and PII detection engine that scans code, logs, and API responses for the 18 HIPAA Safe Harbor identifiers. It is built to catch leaks in developer artifacts before they ship.
Claude Skills collection
A collection of reusable Claude Skills with 300+ downloads.

What I work with
Backend & APIs
Python, Django, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL: auth, data modeling, and APIs built to hold up in production.
Applied AI & Agents
LLM applications, RAG pipelines, and tool-calling agents: wiring models into products that do real work.
Infrastructure & Cloud
Terraform and Docker on AWS, plus a k3s homelab on OCI: reproducible infra and CI/CD from zero.
Why this site exists
I learn things by building the smallest version that actually runs. Then I write down what broke. This site is where both halves end up: the projects and the post-mortems. If it saves you an afternoon, even better.
Playground
Not everything needs to be a product. These run in your browser right now.
