Hi, I'm
Arya Vinod
Software Engineer
I like building reliable systems and understanding what happens underneath them — the backend services, the infrastructure they run on, and everything that keeps them up at 3am.
// main quests: backend systems, distributed systems, infrastructure
// side quests: birdwatching, half marathons, and stubborn calisthenics goals
About
I'm drawn to the parts of software that most users never see — the services underneath a product, the way they talk to each other, and what breaks when they don't. Most of my time goes into backend systems, distributed systems, and the infrastructure that keeps them running.
Funny enough, both my parents taught computer science — and still steered me toward Bio-Maths in school. Right before college, I taught myself C out of curiosity anyway, and that was that. The rest is history.
Outside of work, I'm usually outdoors — birdwatching and wildlife photography get me up early on weekends, and running and lifting take up the rest of it. I recently ran my first half marathon, and calisthenics is my current strength-training obsession.

Siren
- Owned the end-to-end design and development of a campaign management system from scratch, enabling large-scale, multi-channel notification delivery across email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, and chat.
- Designed a fault-tolerant asynchronous processing pipeline using AWS SQS FIFO with idempotent processing and failure recovery mechanisms, achieving 99.9% message delivery reliability.
- Optimized database queries for fetching large sets of workflow executions, reducing CPU and memory utilization by 30% and improving the efficiency of analytics workloads.
- Built real-time campaign processing workflows using LangChain and AI-driven orchestration, reducing campaign setup-to-execution time to seconds.
- Built cohort management by extracting and unifying user data from 3+ sources (Mixpanel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake) using Redash for segmentation.
In-house Authentication & Authorization Module
- Designed and developed a reusable Spring Boot authentication and authorization microservice for distributed applications.
- Integrated OAuth2 (Google), Twilio OTP verification, and SendGrid email service for secure, multi-channel authentication workflows.
- Built an RBAC framework to manage users, groups, and granular resource permissions.
- Implemented JWT-based security with access and refresh token management for stateless session handling and API protection.
AM-i
- Designed and optimized an Elasticsearch-backed car-stock search service, eliminating N+1 API calls for inventory listings and delivering tenant-aware filtered search results in under 200 ms.
- Developed and maintained serverless microservices using AWS Lambda to manage Mercedes lead integration.
- Designed DynamoDB data models for scalable storage and retrieval of car configuration data.
