Mark AI

Software Engineer · Full Time

Jun 2026 — Present Remote · India
  • Building an AI-native DOOH advertising platform — leveraging ML-based recommendation models to suggest related and competitor screens to advertisers, improving campaign targeting and screen discovery across 1 Lakh+ digital displays.
  • Built an AI booking agent that converts natural-language requests into executable booking scripts, letting advertisers book screens through conversational input instead of manual workflows.
  • Own the CMS portal and its connected main site end to end — operators and advertisers manage screen inventory, content, campaign scheduling and payments from a single platform.
  • Built a native Android signage-player APK in Kotlin that self-registers to the in-house CMS and streams scheduled content to DOOH displays over a persistent WebSocket connection to the FastAPI backend for real-time playback and remote control.
  • Designed an interactive 3D website with Three.js/WebGL using Blender-crafted assets, plus AR previews via MindAR and 3D human models so clients can visualize ads in real-world environments before campaign deployment.
  • Deployed the platform on Google Cloud Platform behind a load balancer distributing traffic across instances for reliable, scalable production serving.

Beryl

Software Engineer · Full Time

Sep 2025 — Jun 2026 Remote · India
  • Built Beryl, an AI-driven end-to-end test-automation product that crawls a target app from a single URL — including authenticated pages — generates natural-language test cases, converts them into Playwright scripts, and runs them headless to report pass/fail and a site-reliability score.
  • Owned Beryl's post-signup execution layer — scaling Playwright runs across a worker pool with self-healing selectors to eliminate flaky tests, plus building its Next.js frontend.
  • Built a high-throughput log ingestion platform with custom SDKs in Java, Python and JavaScript that async-batch high-volume logs into ClickHouse, tuned around its columnar engine, compression and binary format.
  • Stood up a centralized observability platform unifying AWS CloudWatch, New Relic APM, Datadog, Grafana and Prometheus across 15+ microservices — correlating logs, metrics and traces with RBAC and custom alerting (RED & USE methodologies).
  • Built an automated Root Cause Analysis engine on LangGraph that traces incidents through repository commit history — cutting incident investigation time by 65%.
  • Ran container orchestration on Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) and improved CI/CD with build caching & artifact reuse — cutting build time 20% across 10+ pipelines.

  • Built a ride-booking platform with RBAC, OTP-based passwordless auth and time-based dynamic pricing (1.5× night multiplier).
  • Optimized for 1500–2000 concurrent users — B-tree indexing dropped query latency by 70%.
  • Wired Twilio WhatsApp API for OTP, driver alerts and assignments + cron-based recurring scheduling.

About

I'm a Software Engineer who likes systems that don't fall over. Most of my day is spent on high-volume log ingestion pipelines streaming into ClickHouse — designing schemas, tuning MergeTree partitioning, and squeezing every bit of throughput out of columnar storage.

Outside the day job at Mark AI, I've co-founded an edtech startup, freelanced full-stack apps for ride-booking and ad-tech, and built a 3D solar-system simulator just because it sounded fun.

Bias toward action. Paranoid about latency. Allergic to flaky tests.

High-volume log ingestion into ClickHouse and the observability layer on top — making columnar storage, compression and MergeTree engines work for engineers, not against them.
