Backend / Full-Stack Software Engineer at Way2News — scalable Node.js services, event pipelines, multi-tenant platforms


About

Backend / full-stack engineer at Way2News, Hyderabad. I design and run backend systems that have to hold up under real traffic — schema design, event pipelines, queues and multi-tenancy. What that has meant in practice: a multi-tenant franchise platform, a two-database migration framework, analytics pipelines on ClickHouse, and queue-driven workloads on Redis + BullMQ. Also the payments stack on Vedamandir, a Way2News product — ₹12 Cr+ processed to date with zero double-charges, ~34K payments a month, and a recovery CRM that won back 34% of 48,000+ drop-offs. Stack: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, BullMQ, Docker, AWS — plus Angular (including SSR) and React on the front end. On the side: two npm packages, Acharya and Kira, and a RAG assistant running on my portfolio. Open to backend / full-stack roles in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune or remote-India. Happy to talk about schema design under load, queue backpressure, idempotency, or ClickHouse for product analytics — come say hi.

Projects

Acharya (npm)

Multi-agent AI development framework. Coordinates 14 specialist sub-agents under a human-gated development contract, with file-routing and Git-hook quality gates that keep AI context synced to the codebase. Used daily at Way2News.

Node.js

Git hooks

Kira — multi-repo bridge (npm)

Cross-repo migration safety framework. A migration runner with a shared-datastore hazard matrix, so two services sharing a database cannot ship conflicting schema changes, plus an independent production go/no-go gate.

Node.js
npm

Spidy — Portfolio RAG Assistant

Retrieval-augmented assistant that answers questions about my work from my own notes, with citations, and declines when the context does not support an answer.
