Work Experience

Software Engineer – Backend & Distributed Systems

Mercedes-Benz R&D India

Jun 2024 - Present

Designed and shipped a globally deployed document-verification platform that ingested and reconciled millions of manufacturing records in near real-time, automating compliance validation for factory robots and production lines across plants in Germany, China, India, and South Africa. Architected a plugin-based document-processing engine with adapters for heterogeneous storage providers (SharePoint, enterprise DMS), enabling new source onboarding in days vs. weeks while preserving a unified validation and compliance workflow. Designed and deployed a distributed microservices mesh integrating 5+ enterprise systems (ERP, DMS, workflow engines), achieving centralized document lifecycle management with strong consistency guarantees and sub-second state propagation via Apache Kafka. Shipped AI-powered document intelligence features — semantic content analysis and an LLM-backed knowledge assistant — that cut document discovery time from hours to under 5 minutes for 500+ engineering and manufacturing users. Automated end-to-end compliance verification workflows, eliminating 80–90% of manual validation effort; improved audit traceability and reduced compliance breach detection time by 60%. Built event-driven alerting and exception management services using Kafka and Redis that proactively surfaced missing, non-compliant, and misclassified documents — reducing mean time to remediation (MTTR) by 40% across global plant operations. Collaborated cross-functionally with QA, DevOps, and product owners in Agile sprints; maintained 95%+ sprint delivery rate and authored technical design docs reviewed by senior architects.
