Hi 👋, I'm Bala

Lead Software Engineer - Backend, Data & AI/ML

I am a Software Engineer specializing in the intersection of backend systems, data engineering, data science and AI/ML. My focus is on building resilient, scalable architectures that transition complex data models into production-ready AI solutions.

  • 🔭 Currently building robust backend APIs, data pipelines, and AI/ML solutions.
  • 💡 Ask me about FastAPI, Data Lakehouses, or MLOps pipelines.

💻 Open Source Projects

  • quoin-api: A foundational template for building production-grade backend systems and ML serving APIs using FastAPI, SQLModel, and the Astral toolchain. Designed with clean, versioned API architecture — applicable to general-purpose REST services and high-performance ML inference backends alike.

  • stream-weaver: A next-generation event streaming system built with Java 25 (Loom) and Spring Boot 4, leveraging virtual threads for high-throughput, non-blocking I/O against AWS Kinesis and DynamoDB. Designed for scalable data ingestion and processing pipelines.
