Engineering Leader and practitioner at @sahajsoft. I design and develop large-scale systems and work on AI-assisted software development.
AI-assisted engineering — beyond code generation, the full lifecycle:
- Discovering and clarifying requirements with AI
- Reasoning through system design with LLMs
- Debugging with structured prompting
- Improving delivery workflows with better tooling
I use Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, with prompt engineering, context engineering, and chain-of-thought scaffolding.
I speak at conferences about distributed systems, event-driven design, large-scale data engineering, ML for fraud detection, and AI's role in the software lifecycle.
