Senior Software Engineer

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA India)

  • Built and own CBA's internal AI developer platform, combining Claude Code, Codex and Pi with task routing, LLM gateway routing and automated code review; adopted by 200+ engineers and earned 140 internal GitHub stars.
  • Built a FastMCP server exposing F5 load-balancer configuration to coding agents through four tools — read, write, search and validate — so engineers change and verify config without leaving their development environment.

  • Instrumented agent traffic with Langfuse and HoneyHive to track adoption, evaluation quality, cost and DORA metrics across teams on the platform.
  • Built a secure self-service deployment platform using Ping OIDC, Vault, Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions and Artifactory.
  • Built network-operations automation — a stateful LangGraph diagnostic agent plus Python/Go F5 services with cross-site PostgreSQL replication, Airflow orchestration and deployment safety gates.
