Hey, I am Deepak

Agentic AI, system architecture, and scalable apps — always building.

I am a full stack software engineer and engineering leader passionate about Agentic AI, system architecture, and scalable apps. Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer at Reinforcelabs.ai, working at the intersection of security and AI. Previously, I was head of engineering at Authlayer, where I worked on building Finlens and ZeFi. I previously worked with Facebook, London, on the Portal Release Infrastructure Team.

My areas of interest include agentic AI and distributed systems.

In 2024, I took a leap of faith and co-founded Browmath Capital. I was part of the Meta Platform Engineering team, where I worked on platform reliability, distributed infrastructure, and release systems at scale.

I held engineering leadership positions (both IC and management) at Unacademy, where I built, grew, and led Search, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and Data Engineering teams. I hold more than 12 years of experience scaling backend services and taking products and teams from 0 to 1 — and beyond.

I keep diving deep into engineering details and share my learnings across my socials and videos on YouTube.
