AI and backend engineer · Hyderabad, India

What runs underneath,
and what thinks on top.

AI agents, the backends under them, the firmware under those, and the apps on top. Software Development Engineer at Pehchaan.me, and the architect, developer and maintainer of PiDesk, FinRoo and UltraBike.

01 — Agents

Systems that reason, retrieve and act.

Multi-agent orchestration, retrieval over policy documents, tool calling, and the tracing that shows what an agent did and why. Shipped as Kubernetes microservices at Pehchaan.me and Digitals AI.

02 — Hardware

Boards I can hold.

Custom PCBs with embedded C firmware, MQTT to Alexa, and a Flutter app that switches them over the LAN. ArmtronicLabs is on Google Play.

The smart-home switches

03 — Infrastructure

A datacenter made of old laptops.

A two-node Proxmox cluster with a NAS and Jenkins pipelines that deploy everything on this page. Before that, Spring Boot on AWS with Terraform at Tata Consultancy Services.

The datacenter

04 — Products

Three products, in production.

PiDesk manages thin-client fleets. FinRoo makes money legible. UltraBike keeps a vehicle’s record. All three live on bunroo.in.

About

I build backend systems and the AI agents that run on top of them: retrieval pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, tool calling, and the tracing that shows what an agent did and why. Most of it ships as microservices on Docker and Kubernetes with CI/CD and monitoring around it.

Before agents, I spent two and a half years at Tata Consultancy Services building Spring Boot services on AWS, with Terraform for infrastructure and disaster recovery and Jenkins for delivery. That is where I learned to care about OAuth2 done properly, and about quality gates that actually block a bad build.

Outside work I run a two-node Proxmox cluster built from old laptops, design PCBs and firmware for smart-home switches, and build the bunroo products end to end: server, app and hardware.
