Experience

Built early.
Built to scale.

Three YC teams.
A builder throughout.

From financial infrastructure to AI that holds a conversation, with a chapter co-founding UpgradeLLM along the way. Here's what I helped bring into the world.

Building now

Remote

YC S24

Founding Engineer

  • Joined SimCare AI as its first hire, building the real-time AI infrastructure behind simulated client conversations for healthcare and counselor training.
  • Architected the FastAPI backend powering production conversations: orchestrating Deepgram transcription, streaming LLM inference, and tuning async workflows to hit sub-second end-to-end latency under real-time video constraints.
  • Owning the stack end-to-end — from speech and language orchestration to backend reliability, infrastructure, and Next.js product surfaces — shaping architecture, product direction, and engineering decisions for the platform.

My own venture

UpgradeLLM

Co-Founder

Co-founded UpgradeLLM and built an application to help enterprise clients migrate legacy systems from older technology stacks to modern ones.

Sao Paulo, Brazil (Remote)

Nuvia AI

Founding Engineer

  • Designed and implemented the end-to-end backend architecture using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and Redis — standing up a production-grade platform from zero.
  • Built the core product infrastructure: secure JWT-based auth, workspace models, mailbox and inbox management, and the full campaign orchestration layer.
  • Integrated Gmail, Outlook, Warmy, MailGenius, and SendGrid to deliver a cohesive outbound communication and campaign management experience.

California, US (Remote)

YC W23

Founding Engineer

  • Joined early as a founding engineer on a no-code platform that lets users visually compose and deploy LLM-driven workflows — working on the abstraction layers that translate graph-based inputs into executable AI pipelines.
  • Migrated the node execution engine from an edge-based data-flow model to a cleaner input-output structure, improving scalability, maintainability, and extensibility to new node types.
  • Built Gmail and Outlook input/output nodes plus email-trigger automations, and shipped an in-house notification system to surface real-time workflow events to users.

California, US (Remote)

YC W24

Founding Engineer

  • Joined Artisan AI as its first hire and built core LLM-powered outbound workflows for Ava, its AI sales assistant.
  • Designed and shipped personalized cold-email pipelines at scale — combining web scraping, data enrichment, and LLM generation to produce hyper-targeted outreach for thousands of prospects per run.
  • Owned backend throughput and reliability for large-scale AI workflows: cut LLM response times from hours to minutes through batching and parallelization, and tightened prompt performance through iterative evaluation.
  • Integrated and maintained the platform's communication backbone — Apollo, Gmail, Outlook, Warmy, MailGenius, and SendGrid — enabling full end-to-end outbound campaigns.

Gurugram, Haryana

NatWest Group

Software Developer

  • Scaled the Treasury Intraday Liquidity Management System (TILMS) — driving ~$100K in monthly savings through improvements to nostro-account balance tracking, end-of-day summaries, and payment sweep logic.
  • Built XCT and ISO adaptors processing 3M+ messages daily, with ETL pipelines from Kafka topics into IBM MQ over secure SSL connections — unlocking real-time data integration into TILMS.
  • Led the system migration to AWS, shipped Splunk dashboards with real-time alerting, and automated GitLab pipelines for code quality, test builds, and deploys.
