My name is Mihir. I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems. I am currently pursuing my masters in Software Engineering at Purdue University. I am passionate about designing efficient and fault-tolerant system architectures. I am skilled in integrating LLMs into production environments, with hands-on experience in prompt engineering and GenAI implementation. I enjoy tackling complex problems, drive high-impact solutions, and lead projects that enhance system reliability, performance, and scalability. I love exploring tech and hacking together cool projects. I love Emacs!
At Helpshift, I’ve led initiatives that include:
- Designing and implementing a high-throughput system with Clojure Workers for third-party LLM integration within a production chatbot service, supporting 1.5K RPS.
- Engineering a Kafka-based asynchronous task queue that cut load average by 30%
- Architecting and implementing a secure, extensible Plugin Framework, with JWT-based authentication and YugabyteDB as the distributed SQL database, enabling dynamic plugin registration and multi-tenant scalability.
- Mentoring new engineers, driving clean code practices and team-wide efficiency.
- Java, Clojure, Python, C++, Rust, Javascript, SQL
- MongoDB, Postgres, YugabyteDB, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch
- Grafana, Kibana
- Jenkins, Docker, Git, Gerrit
I am looking for a summer internship starting May 2026. Let’s connect if you're hiring for backend or platform roles!
