Ashutosh Kumar


Backend & Data Engineer

Python · ETL · LLM Integration

I build the systems that move, shape, and reason over data at scale — backend services, ETL pipelines, and LLM-powered automation for analytics-heavy products. Based in Kolkata, India.

3+ Years experience
25+ ETL pipelines
98% Deploy time cut
100K+ LLM-scored signals

Backend Systems

Led the migration of a tightly coupled monolith into a modular, multi-tenant SaaS backend on Django/DRF and FastAPI — cutting database query latency 50% through indexing, caching, and query optimization.

Data Engineering

Architected the ingestion and transformation backbone — Argo Workflows and BigQuery pipelines turning raw multi-brand data into standardized analytics tables that power reporting and KPIs.

AI Integration

Built an LLM-powered scoring engine on the OpenAI API that evaluates semantic alignment across 100K+ intent signals in production — plus LLM-backed automation wired directly into core backend services.
