SDE III · AI Automation Engineer · Builder

📍 India  |  5+ years building backend systems and AI-powered products  |  Open to opportunities

I build backend systems and AI-powered products, and I treat AI as an engineering multiplier rather than a novelty. My career spans Python back-ends, LLM pipelines, conversational AI, and data infrastructure across fast-moving MarTech and mobility startups.

I work as an AI-augmented engineer. I've been inside AI tooling since the GitHub Copilot beta in 2021, before it was a job title, and the part that holds my attention is how the act of building is changing — voice prompting, human-in-the-loop, where the engineer actually sits in that loop. That is a different discipline from prompt engineering, which optimises instructions. I put these workflows into production, keep the ones that survive contact with real systems, and carry enough depth to catch what the model gets wrong.

SDE III · Team Lead — Idea Clan (Feb 2023 – Present · Panchkula, India) Joined the founding Python team as an IC, promoted to SDE II & Team Lead within a year, and to SDE III in September 2026. Backend lead on two MarTech products — FabFunnel, the external-facing platform our clients' media buyers work in, and Lookfinity, the internal platform for in-house teams. Every ad network runs on nearly the same campaign structure, but each names things differently and each is missing something the others have — so media buyers were launching platform by platform, by hand, at volume. I designed a centralized service that takes one configuration and fans it out across every network, scaled to 2,000 ads/minute in production; the quarter after launch came within reach of the previous full year's volume. The Python work started because Google's Ads SDK was first-class in Python while our stack was Node: I built the company's first Python reporting service around it, which opened the door to AI creative generation conditioned on geography, keywords and psychological triggers. Also a video hashing system — near-identical creatives were crowding out the top-performer leaderboard — and an ad-library intelligence service built on public ad libraries only.

Software Engineer (Contract) — Samsride (Dec 2022 – Feb 2023 · Remote) Full-Stack Python Developer on the Innovations Refund platform, across Django and React on a tight timeline. I took it because the problem was good, not because I needed a bridge: a centralized FinTech platform where banks aggregate and loan flows originate in one place. Centralization was the interesting part — structurally the same problem I'd go on to solve for ad networks a year later.

Junior → Associate Software Developer — Pheuture Studio Pvt Ltd. (Aug 2021 – Nov 2022 · Noida, India) First professional role. Built WhatsApp and Shopify connectors on the Odoo platform. Promoted to Associate within 6 months — extended platform integrations, applied machine learning to product features, and deepened backend ownership. I left when the role started drifting from Python into mostly SQL work. I wanted to keep going deeper in Python, not sideways.

Choices, not defaults — FastAPI over Django because the architecture is microservices and FastAPI stays lightweight, and over Flask because async was non-negotiable. PostgreSQL for the reporting service, where the shape is fixed and the queries are analytical; MongoDB for the launch service, where every network's config is dynamic and half-structured; ClickHouse for ingesting high-volume reporting data. CrewAI because I can define discrete crews with assigned jobs, instead of handing one agent everything and hoping.

Three Chrome extensions, all live on the Web Store — Manifest V3, built with Vite, everything on-device: no accounts, no servers, no telemetry. 108 apps on the Odoo App Store, and a Codex plugin for Odoo. Plus the ad-platform work I lead at Idea Clan.

One key takes the tab you're on off the screen — or swaps it for an innocuous decoy page — before you share your screen or someone walks past. The tab is never closed: it keeps running in the background, so a half-typed form, a logged-in session and a playing video all come back exactly as you left them. Most competitors close tabs and reload the URL, which is the thing their reviews complain about. Two permissions, no page access.

Fills any form with plausible test data in one click, generated entirely on-device. Built for the part of development where you need a believable name, address and card number twenty times an hour and typing "asdf" stops being funny. It never submits the form.

In late 2022, deep in long YouTube tutorials as a junior engineer, I kept hitting the same wall: there was no way to save what you found. Come back after two days and you'd scroll for ten minutes to relocate a single explanation. The idea sat with me for years; in March 2026 I built it. Bookmark any moment, revisit saved sections in sequence, turn them into flashcards, and let spaced repetition make it stick. Built for students, creators and developers who learn from YouTube.

Small, single-purpose apps, 54 free and 54 paid: compliance work such as GDPR retention, Romanian SAF-T and US 1099 reporting, inventory reports, access-rights tooling and ad-platform connectors. Every app has a narrated demo video on YouTube and its own page on mithahara.com.

A Codex plugin that lets you ask questions of your own Odoo: overdue invoices, who can see a model, the history of a record. It talks to an Odoo MCP endpoint you run, through read-only tools, so nothing is written and no data leaves your server.

Two products on shared ad-launch and reporting infrastructure. FabFunnel is the external-facing platform, used by our clients' media buyers; Lookfinity is the internal one, used by in-house teams. Both run on the same core: one campaign configuration fanned out across Meta, Google, TikTok, Taboola and NewsBreak, AI creative generation, video hashing for creative deduplication, and ad-library intelligence built on public sources only.
