Senior Python Backend Developer & AI/ML Engineer, based in Kerala, India — currently building microservices infrastructure at Io-market Software Services (the Indian office of a Swiss company).
5+ years across backend engineering and applied AI/ML: authentication & authorization systems, event-driven microservices, and LLM-powered data extraction pipelines. Previously led a team of 12 as Assistant Tech Lead at Manappuram Finance, building fraud-detection and KYC systems used across a 40,000+ employee organization.
- Backend systems: FastAPI, Django, Kafka-based event pipelines, RBAC/SSO integration, Kubernetes
- Applied AI/ML: LLM-based structured data extraction, computer vision fraud detection, model deployment
- Currently exploring: agentic multi-model pipelines, cybersecurity fundamentals
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| fastapi-rbac-lite | Published on PyPI — pluggable RBAC library for FastAPI with JWT/JWKS verification and configurable permission resolvers |
| Invoice_extraction | Production-style invoice extraction service using zone-based PDF parsing and a local LLM (Qwen 2.5 7B), with mathematical tax reconciliation and OpenTrans XML output |
| mindspace-backend | FastAPI backend for an anonymous mental health companion app — LLM-powered chat, mood tracking, and journaling with a privacy-first design |
| flight_passenger_forecasting | Django app forecasting flight passenger demand using Prophet, ARIMA, LSTM, and ensemble models |
| cert-master | Django REST API for bulk digital certificate generation, containerized and deployed with Docker |
| Rate-Limiter | FastAPI service demonstrating JWT auth, Redis-backed rate limiting, and API versioning |
More projects, including earlier computer vision work (KYC verification, document masking, human/gender detection), are pinned or listed in my repositories.
Languages & Frameworks: Python, FastAPI, Django, Flask Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, Celery, Elasticsearch Cloud & Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker AI/ML: TensorFlow, PyTorch, LLM integration (Ollama, Qwen, Gemini, Groq/Llama), OpenCV Auth & Security: OAuth2/JWT, RBAC design, Authentik SSO
Open to senior Python backend / AI engineer roles — happy to talk shop about auth systems, LLM pipelines, or anything in between.
