Backend Lead & Full Stack Engineer at ButterCut AI
Aug 2025 – Present
AI video post-production for short-form creators and enterprise teams.
First enterprise deal
Closed the platform's first enterprise deal by shipping a production-ready video pipeline to Seekho, converting it into a paying client and validating the product commercially.
Two-pass STT architecture
Reduced STT token usage by 89% with a two-pass architecture, cutting pipeline latency while preserving timestamp accuracy across multilingual audio.
Async B-roll pipeline
Architected a five-stage async B-roll video pipeline (FastAPI, Docker) for parallel multimodal asset generation across sticker, text, poster and video overlays, backed by an AWS SQS worker with S3 offloading and containerized Lambdas at 99.9% uptime.
Retrieval for AI workflows
Built RAG retrieval pipelines (embeddings, vector search) that ground LLM generation in retrieved context, integrated with the FastAPI services and PostgreSQL data layer.
