Built backend AI features using FastAPI and Django integrating OpenAI API (GPT-4, DALL-E) automated personalized content creation (vision boards, dynamic task assignments) and AI chat assistants, reducing manual workload by 70%. Designed and deployed RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework and FastAPI for high-throughput data ingestion and scalable server-side processing across production applications. Worked with LangChain and n8n to build automation pipelines that connected AI tools, Supabase backends, and custom APIs delivering 12+ real-time sync, alerting, and reporting workflows for enterprise clients. Applied Prompt Engineering to shape GPT-4 outputs for domain-specific tasks, iterating on system prompts and few-shot examples to improve response quality and consistency. Built mobile backend services for React Native (Expo Go) apps optimized API responses for iOS and Android with push notifications and offline caching. Improved production reliability via Django Debug Toolbar, Python PDB, and APM integrations reduced latency ~35% through root-cause analysis on live Python backend services.

Architected a scalable Insurance API Gateway in Python using FastAPI integrated with distributed systems and external partners, handling 100K+ daily transactions at sub-200ms response time. Led a satellite dev team of 34 engineers: sprint planning, technical grooming, and bandwidth estimation for on-time product delivery. Managed multi-distributor deployment pipelines using FastAPI, Redis, and AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudWatch) improved deployment frequency by 40% and reduced rollback incidents. Applied Python best practices and REST API design patterns to reduce latency and scale services under high fintech load.

Developed and integrated banking gateway APIs for HDFC, SBI, and ICICI using Python and Django ensuring robust transaction handling and regulatory compliance. Designed Jinja2 template-based interfaces, reducing frontend rendering bugs and improving UX customization. Contributed to PostgreSQL and MySQL schema design and query optimization improved response times for critical financial reporting pipelines. Generated API documentation and technical architecture docs, improving cross-team onboarding speed.

Implemented logging mechanisms and request ID tracking in Python services improved debugging efficiency and issue resolution time across distributed services. Designed modular abstraction architectures to promote code maintainability across microservices. Conducted API testing via Postman and managed JIRA ticket lifecycle ensuring quality deliverables each sprint.
