Rishab Raj
Software Engineer • Full-Stack AI Engineer
Engineering systems that
multiply leverage.
I align high-concurrency backends, autonomous RAG pipelines, and edge-optimized microservices directly with business objectives. Code built to handle massive scale, eliminate bottlenecks, and drive measurable ROI.
Competencies
Specialized domain knowledge.
A strict focus on robust backend mechanics, zero-latency data transfer, and systems that refuse to fail under heavy multi-threaded loads.
Agentic AI & RAG
Engineering LLM workflows and retrieval-augmented generation systems that enforce factual grounding and eliminate unstructured data hallucinations.
High-Concurrency
Writing native multi-threaded architectures and bare-metal Java implementations that optimize thread pools and slash memory overhead.
Edge Runtimes
Bypassing traditional cloud bloat. Deploying globally distributed, serverless API routes using Cloudflare Workers and HonoJS.
Org Scaling
Scaling technical teams from the ground up. Architected operations that mentored 1,000+ engineers and secured national IEEE recognition.
My Execution Framework
Code is a commodity.
Judgment is not.
Scaling a product requires a multi-disciplinary lens. We cannot architect a system without understanding the market it serves and the psychology of the human using it. This is my execution framework.
Cognitive Friction is the Enemy
A mathematically perfect backend is useless if the user abandons the interface. I build architectures that aggressively reduce server latency, but I design data flows that reduce human cognitive load. I optimize for intuitive state management over unnecessary technical acrobatics.
Market Viability > Mechanics
Every line of code is a business liability until it generates value. I do not engineer features in a vacuum. Technical decisions from edge compute routing to database schema modeling are evaluated strictly against time-to-market, user acquisition potential, and asymmetrical ROI.
First-Principles Scaling
Scale breaks weak assumptions. Instead of applying band-aid fixes to failing infrastructure, I strip problems down to their fundamental truths. Whether orchestrating autonomous RAG agents or tuning multi-threaded JVMs, I build fault-tolerant systems designed to self-heal under pressure.
The Leverage Multiplier
The objective is never to write the most complex code possible. The objective is leverage. I architect systems specifically to automate manual operations, slash cloud compute bloat, and aggressively multiply the output of the entire organization.
Proof of Work
Systems & Architecture.
Engineered a highly scalable WebSocket architecture for instantaneous, zero-latency messaging.
Implemented secure JWT authentication and a robust multi-format file-sharing system supporting up to 10MB payloads.
AI Web Automation
Architected an intuitive drag-and-drop UI for building complex, automated web scraping pipelines.
Integrated Gemini AI for data extraction, achieving 85% accuracy on highly unstructured web layouts.
Serverless Blog
Developed a production-grade full-stack platform optimized for global edge compute networks.
Utilized HonoJS and Prisma to build ultra-responsive API routes with near-zero cold-start latency.
Java Web Server
Built a raw, highly optimized web server from the ground up using native socket programming.
Engineered a custom thread-pooling system that handled 1M+ Requests Per Second while reducing memory usage by 35%.
Social Media App (Backend)
Engineered a secure, robust end-to-end user authentication and authorization system leveraging Spring Security and stateless JWTs.
Architected highly scalable RESTful endpoints and complex database schemas to handle intensive relational mechanics (follows, likes, state management).
