👋 Hi, I'm Priyanka Pradeep

Technical Lead · Backend Engineer · AI Engineer

I build scalable backend systems and production-grade AI applications.

With 7+ years of software engineering experience, I work across backend architecture, distributed systems, event-driven platforms, and AI engineering. I've worked on large-scale platforms including DIKSHA, the Government of India's national digital education infrastructure serving 22M+ registered users.

Currently, my work sits at the intersection of:

Backend Engineering × AI × System Architecture


🚀 What I Build

🏗️ Scalable Backend Systems

Designing and building reliable backend platforms using:

Node.js · Python · FastAPI · Microservices · REST APIs · Kafka · Redis

Focused on scalability, performance, asynchronous processing, and event-driven architecture.

🤖 AI-Powered Applications

Building practical AI systems using:

LLMs · RAG · Semantic Search · Hybrid Search · Vector Databases · LangChain · Multi-Agent Systems

Experienced with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenRouter.

🧠 AI + Backend Architecture

I enjoy taking AI capabilities from POC → architecture → production, with a focus on reliability, scalability, evaluation, and maintainability.


⭐ Selected Work

🌍 DIKSHA — National Digital Infrastructure for Education

Government of India · 22M+ registered users

Owned backend services supporting surveys and program management on a national-scale education platform.

Worked on high-traffic services, Redis-based performance optimization, and asynchronous Kafka-based processing to reduce pressure on primary data stores.

Node.js Express.js MongoDB Redis Kafka


🧠 SG-Commons — AI-Powered Knowledge Platform

An open-source AI-powered knowledge platform built for Shikshalokam.

Worked on RAG, semantic retrieval, hybrid search, vector databases, embeddings, and LLM integrations to build intelligent knowledge discovery capabilities.

Integrated multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.
