ENGINEERING LEADER · AI INFRA & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

Vinay Kumar Agarwalships agent systems.

I lead platform engineering for AI and agentic systems at Plotline, where orchestration, distributed execution, and observability keep 1B+ requests a day fast and reliable. Before that I scaled Inshorts backend to 10M+ daily users and shipped GenAI platforms at Allen Digital. IIT Kanpur.

ABOUT

I'm an engineering leader drawn to the intersection of AI infrastructure, distributed systems, and developer productivity. I build platforms that stay fast and reliable at massive scale.

Across 7 years I've built event-driven architectures, real-time systems, and AI workflows. The throughline runs from scaling backend at Inshorts to shipping GenAI platforms, and now to leading platform engineering for agentic systems at Plotline.

001 · WHAT I BUILD

Agent systems

Multi-agent pipelines with feedback loops and iterative refinement. Automation that compounds instead of one-off scripts.

Platform architecture

Systems that scale across traffic and team, built for failure modes, observability, and long-term cost.

Engineering leadership

High-agency, low-process teams with clear ownership, trust-based delegation, and a high bar for decision quality.
