About Me
Hey, I'm Taher
BTSA, AI Centre of Excellence @ ZS
I build software that solves real operational problems. At Swiggy Instamart I spent nine months on warehouse technology deployed pan-India: a natural language to SQL layer with RAG-based schema retrieval, a label printing system that replaced a third-party vendor for an annual saving of Rs. 26 lakh, and a face recognition attendance system handling 1,500 check-ins a day.
Before that I architected the backend for Fundsmama, a lending platform with 500K+ downloads, integrating 23 loan providers with Kafka event streams. I've also built enterprise ERP systems, a knowledge graph based data context layer for AI agents, and multi-tenant booking platforms.
I recently finished my B.Tech in Computer Science (Data Science) at DJSCE Mumbai and joined ZS as a BTSA in the AI Centre of Excellence.

SDE Intern
Swiggy
Developed an end-to-end RAG pipeline for a natural-language-to-SQL analytics agent, combining semantic retrieval over schema context with LLM query generation and ChromaDB-based query caching to cut latency and token cost. Built a label printing desktop application in Python and PostgreSQL deployed across all Instamart warehouses pan-India, saving approximately Rs. 26 lakh annually. Engineered a face recognition attendance system using InsightFace, FAISS and Flask, processing around 1,500 check-ins daily with offline resilience during network outages. Developed the daily picking algorithm with expiry-ordered batch allocation and layout-aware sequencing, reducing picker travel time across the warehouse network.
