I'm Ameya, a Software Developer

I build robust systems and intelligent agentic solutions at the intersection of low-level infrastructure, databases, and autonomous AI.

Hi, I'm Ameya

I am a systems developer who likes to create structure out of chaos.

I'm a systems engineer who likes to create structure out of chaos. I live at the intersection of databases, agentic AI, and low-level programming โ€” where the real fun (and the real bugs) hide :) .

Graduated with Distinction (top 2%, 9.32 CG) from BITS Pilani with a Minor in Data Science. Also founded the placement training program at the Goa campus from the ground up โ€” 50.5% more internship offers, 10% better placements, hundreds of students impacted. Not bad for a side project. ๐Ÿ˜„

I also write about what I learn on Medium โ€” PostgreSQL internals, migration war stories, distributed systems. No fluff, just the good stuff.

Problem Solving โ€“ The real definition of Engineering. :)

If you're building something hard and need someone who thrives in the details โ€” let's connect. โšก

Where I've worked

A track record of solving hard problems across payments, networking, AI/ML and distributed databases.

Working on the database migration team โ€” helping teams escape their old databases and land safely on PostgreSQL-compatible distributed systems. I make sure nothing breaks when you move your most critical data. No pressure. :)

  • Distributed SQL
  • PostgreSQL Compatibility

Optimized memory across router configurations at the heart of modern data centers โ€” yes, I touched the metal. Integrated radsecproxy for secure, standards-compliant auth, where one wrong config takes everyone down. Co-designed architecture to stream WiFi sensor data to the cloud, built multi-vendor ready so it wouldn't need a rewrite every time a new vendor walked in.

Designed architecture for ML model interpretability, making AI decisions less of a black box and more towards the precipice of open book. The work involved a deep dive into attention mechanisms and transformers architecture.

Away from the keyboard

I don't just debug systems โ€” I also debug my weekends with sports, stories, and snapshots.

Sports Fanatic

Really good at badminton, cricket, and squash. If there's a court or a field, I'm probably on it.

Novel Reader

Love getting lost in novels. Fiction, non-fiction, thrillers โ€” if the story grips, the pages turn.

Photography & Poetry

Capturing moments through a lens and framing feelings into poems. One shot, one stanza at a time.
