Hi There! 👋I'm Muru
Full Stack Engineer
I build B2B SaaS for regulated industries, using TypeScript end-to-end and event-driven services on AWS. As the founding engineer on HyperStart CLM, I scaled it from 0 to $300k ARR, and I now lead pharmacy automation with LLMs at MedMe Health.

What I do
FULL-STACK ENGINEER BUILDING CLOUD-NATIVE, EVENT-DRIVEN SYSTEMS END-TO-END
- TypeScript
- React
- Node.js
- Python
- AWS
- Docker

⚡ Build TypeScript end-to-end: event-driven Node.js / Nest.js services and React frontends
⚡ Design distributed, event-driven systems on AWS with Kafka, SQS and CDC
⚡ Ship with observability and security built in: OpenTelemetry, Grafana, SOC 2 & HIPAA compliance
Experiences
4 yrs 3 mos of experience across 2 companies

MedMe Health
December 2025 – Present · 11 mos · Toronto (remote)
SWE 2
Leading design of the fax-to-entry platform that automates pharmacy admin work at MedMe Health (YC W21).
3 highlights
- Led development of an LLM-based extractor that turns unstructured patient questionnaire answers into structured medication data. Working through its long tail of edge cases lifted fax-to-entry accuracy from ~60-65% to 95%+.
- Drove HIPAA compliance: access-logged S3 buckets, PHI/PII scrubbing from logs, and server-side encryption of data at rest.
- Made every service debuggable from one Grafana view, with vendor-agnostic OpenTelemetry traces and metrics across the platform.

HyperVerge
August 2022 – December 2025 · 3 yrs 5 mos · Bangalore (onsite)
SDE 2
April 2025 – December 2025 · 9 mos
Owned core platform architecture for HyperStart, the company's contract lifecycle management (CLM) product.
4 highlights
- Cut infrastructure spend to a 10% MRR-to-server-cost ratio by profiling usage and reallocating resources over 3 months.
- Built the event-driven job system on AWS SQS and EventBridge that runs all of the platform's async and scheduled work.
- Led the architecture for CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) that prefill deal data to speed up the client deal-closure pipeline.
- Mentored junior engineers and introduced a standard code-review process to raise code quality.
SDE 1
July 2023 – March 2025 · 1 yr 9 mos
Founding engineer on HyperStart CLM, owning features from design through to customer outcome as the product scaled to $300k ARR.
6 highlights
- Architected an LLM-based pipeline that extracts metadata from signed contracts, one of the product's main selling points.
- Cut contract-listing latency to under 5 seconds across 15,000+ records by restructuring responses and tuning queries.
- Led VAPT and static code analysis for SOC 2 compliance, hardening API Gateways and Auto Scaling Groups.
- Built an end-to-end testing pipeline in GitLab CI with Playwright and Docker that gates deployments.
- Benchmarked an open-source PDF converter, then designed and deployed it as a production microservice.
- Built a config-driven UI for stamp-paper procurement, so adding a new Article code is a single JSON change.
SDE Intern
August 2022 – June 2023 · 11 mos
Built core ingestion and access-control foundations for the CLM platform.
2 highlights
- Built a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system, with database schemas and APIs that manage resource access through user groups.
- Built Google Drive and OneDrive integrations that ingest PDFs for the AI extraction workflows.

Samsung R&D Institute India
December 2021 – August 2022 · 9 mos · Part-time · Bangalore (remote)
R&D Intern
Applied machine learning to anomaly detection for security use cases.
2 highlights
- Built an unsupervised Isolation Forest model that detects anomalous user activity from IP, API URL, and MAC-address signals, an approach that also applies to fraud detection.
- Generated synthetic training datasets and deployed the inference endpoint with Python/Django on Heroku.

Open Source Contributions 🌐
Code I've contributed to projects used by people around the world.
Vite — Contributor
A merged fix to Vite (83k+ GitHub stars), the frontend build tool: source maps whose sourceRoot is a URL, as published by packages like domutils and entities, no longer trigger false "outside its package" warnings.
AnkiDroid — Contributor
3 merged pull requests to AnkiDroid, the popular open-source spaced-repetition flashcard app for Android (11k+ GitHub stars, millions of installs). Contributions include clipboard image paste, a deprecation-API wrapper, and test-configuration improvements.
