Professional Profile

Full-stack developer (2+ years) specializing in TypeScript, React, and Node.js for building high-performance web applications and large-scale, cloud-native systems.

  • • Expertise includes distributed microservices architecture, real-time data streaming (WebSockets), and robust cloud infrastructure design (AWS/GCP).
  • • Proven ability to lead end-to-end feature development for complex B2B SaaS platforms in the media and ad-tech domain.

Experience

Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Amagi Media Labs

Oct 2023-PresentBengaluru, KA

Cloud Solutions for Broadcast, Streaming, and Ad Tech

  • Engineered core features for Amagi CLOUDPORT and Amagi ADS PLUS, focusing on the Monetization & Marketplace segment, driving cloud transition for major global broadcasters.
  • Developed a high-availability, real-time scheduling control panel using React/TypeScript on the frontend, enabling operators to manage linear TV playlists and dynamic ad insertion points.
  • Built and optimized critical microservices in Node.js/Express responsible for processing petabytes of media metadata daily and managing low-latency data flow for content distribution, ensuring 24/7 reliability (leveraging AWS/GCP services like EKS, S3, and Lambda).
  • Implemented a scalable WebSockets-based state-sync service for the Live Master Control interface, ensuring multi-user co-editing of live channel parameters with sub-second latency.
  • Collaborated on enhancing the CDN/origin server infrastructure to support high-resiliency HLS/MPEG-TS streaming protocols across multi-region deployments.
