Saahil Basak Backend & Systems Engineer

I build systems that survive real users —
from real-time infrastructure to AI pipelines to production backends.

What I build

I work at the intersection of product intent and systems design — building and stabilizing backends that run under real conditions, not just ideal ones.

Most of my work spans three areas:

  • Real-time systems — event-driven backends, voice rooms, live data feeds, low-latency pipelines
  • Applied AI — LangChain agents, multi-agent orchestration, LLM-integrated product features
  • Production infrastructure — system stabilization, performance optimization, cost-aware architecture

I've mostly worked as the sole or primary engineer at early-stage startups, which means owning systems end-to-end — from architecture decisions to production deploys.


Selected Work

ECOWELL Health & Beauty · Software Engineer · Dec 2025 – Present

Led all technical systems across a multi-brand group as the sole engineer.

  • Engineered a 14-phase automated AI SEO pipeline — transforming raw crawls into evidence-backed strategy playbooks using Crawl4AI, LiteLLM, and multi-agent orchestration. Reduced manual audit time from weeks to hours.
  • Built a React enterprise website (Jayshree International) with atomic design system — achieved 0.4s LCP on an image-and-video-heavy page.
  • Reduced LCP from 12s → 1.7s on Shopify storefronts through lazy loading, asset optimization, and delivery strategy.

Medjeex Edutech · Software Engineer · Nov 2024 – Nov 2025

Built an AI-powered edtech platform entirely from scratch, end-to-end.

  • Full-stack across 30+ screens in React/Redux + Node.js/MongoDB — auth, test engine, course delivery, AI tutoring. Load-tested to 1,000 concurrent users at <180ms API response.
  • Built a LangChain + Google AI pipeline for syllabus-scoped Q&A, notes, flashcards, and interactive voice Q&A. Validated outputs against a structured test suite for accuracy, edge cases, and safety.
  • Replaced Google Analytics with a custom behavioral analytics pipeline — streaks, watch time, quiz performance — with IndexedDB buffering and batched sync.
  • Built a live class system replacing paid Zoom integration — instructor video prioritization, teacher controls, live polls.

Ayla Voice Chat · Backend Engineer · Sep 2025 – Dec 2025

Inherited a broken production backend for a social voice app; stabilized and production-readied it solo in one month.

  • Took ownership of a fragmented, undocumented Node.js codebase — refactored into OOP-based, feature-scoped modules while preserving all production data and behavior.
  • Stabilized real-time voice rooms (seat-based speaking, gifting, locking, listener-only modes) using event-driven architecture. Surface and resolved race conditions under load-testing.
  • Built hierarchical monetization across a 4-tier principal hierarchy — wallet flows, commissions, salaries, moderation, bans. Backed by automated end-to-end tests.

Hedge Fund Client · Freelance Engineer · Jan 2024 – Jun 2024

Live market data pipeline for a proprietary NSE futures trading system.

  • Designed a Python WebSocket-to-TCP bridge feeding live NSE futures data into a MATLAB execution environment — keeping the trading system's interface unchanged.
  • Built MessagePack binary serialization + auto-reconnection for feed resilience. Implemented in-memory O(1) snapshot access for sub-millisecond reads.
  • Validated across millions of market ticks in live conditions with zero data loss.
