CTO & ex-AWS engineer | 10+ yrs backend, data & ML expert
Hi there! I'm Tapish, a senior engineer with 10+ years of experience across startups and big tech (AWS, GetMega). I specialize in backend systems, ML, data engineering, and developer tools. I've led teams, built products from scratch, and worked on everything from real-time infra to Chrome extensions and AI pipelines. Let's solve something together.

Built a privacy-focused Data Processing Unit (DPU) for Vibinex using Rust. This module runs on the client side, handles parsing of git diffs, logs, and events securely, and shares only encrypted/hashed metadata with servers. Focus was on performance, low overhead, and data isolation.

Built complex frontends including the Vibinex PR visualization interface and browser extension. Worked on overlays for GitHub to improve developer UX, used React Flow and Cytoscape.js for graph rendering of code changes. Integrated Next.js for the backend/frontend web server with tight coupling to metadata APIs.

Built a privacy-first, LLM backed code review interface using Rust (data processing), ReactJS/Next.js (frontend/server), and a Chrome extension. Architected a dual-backend containerized system where sensitive code stays on-prem while metadata is encrypted and sent to cloud APIs. Led product strategy, hiring, sprint planning, and sales pitch; mentored a junior dev; collaborated closely with cofounder on growth. Designed developer-first graphical code navigation on GitHub/Bitbucket to improve PR readability and prioritization
