Vinay Kumar Agarwalships agent systems.
I lead platform engineering for AI and agentic systems at Plotline — orchestration, distributed execution, and observability serving 1B+ requests a day. Previously scaled backend at Inshorts to 10M+ DAU and built GenAI platforms at Allen Digital. IIT Kanpur.
I'm an engineering leader who likes problems at the intersection of AI infrastructure, distributed systems, and developer productivity — building platforms that stay fast and reliable at massive scale.
Over 7 years I've worked across event-driven architectures, real-time systems, and AI workflows — from scaling backend at Inshorts to shipping GenAI platforms and now leading platform engineering for agentic systems at Plotline.
Agent systems
Multi-agent pipelines with feedback loops and iterative refinement — automation that compounds, not one-off scripts.
Platform architecture
Systems that scale across traffic and team — designed for failure modes, observability, and long-term cost.
Engineering leadership
High-agency, low-process teams — clear ownership, trust-based delegation, and a high bar for decision quality.
Lead platform engineering for AI & agentic systems serving 1B+ requests/day — orchestration, distributed execution, observability, and reliability.
Led a GenAI-powered doubts platform and an 8-engineer team, scaling real-time academic support nationally across web and app.
Built an activity-based networking app to 3,000+ users — real-time chat, notifications, and GCP infra in Go, Kafka, and Mongo.
Scaled a hyperlocal video news platform to 10M+ DAU / 50M+ MAU; cut cloud costs 35% (~$1M+/yr) across 30+ GKE services.
Built Java supply & inventory planning systems; optimized production SQL for 350% faster load times.
