Khushal Chouhan
11 years of software engineering experience - the last 3 building cloud data platforms and pipelines on GCP with Python and SQL.
Building and operating cloud data platforms - serverless pipelines on GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Run, Terraform) ingesting and enriching regulatory and financial data.
Primary - Data Engineering & Cloud Platforms
- Serverless pipelines on GCP - Cloud Run Jobs, Cloud Workflows, BigQuery, AlloyDB/Postgres
- ETL/ELT - ingestion, enrichment, validation, idempotent merges, atomic table swaps
- Infrastructure as code - Terraform, GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Third-party data integration - REST APIs, caching & fallback logic
Secondary - Backend Engineering
- Microservices in Python (FastAPI, Django), Node.js (NestJS), Go (Echo)
- Event-driven & streaming - Kafka, Redis pub/sub
- PostgreSQL, MongoDB modeling & optimization
- Docker, Kubernetes, AWS
SEC Filings Data Platform
Solo-built platform that ingests, enriches and loads SEC Form 13F filings end to end, replacing a prior Airflow/Cloud Composer setup. Integrates SEC EDGAR, OpenFIGI, Nasdaq and Yahoo Finance with validation gates, idempotent merges and atomic table swaps - including a fix for a bug that had overstated portfolio values ~1000x.
InsightFulIOT ↗ live
Natural-language analytics over ~10,000 daily equipment records. Kafka ETL, TimescaleDB and Druid storage, FastAPI services with a GPT layer that turns questions into executable queries.
SingleRuleBook ↗ live
Real-time data streaming and middleware services in Go for regulatory data, with a Python pipeline for regulatory PDF processing.
Atlas
Four microservices for ingestion, generation, config and memory. LangGraph pipeline with hybrid BM25 + semantic retrieval over OpenSearch, RRF + cross-encoder reranking, SSE streaming, Redis semantic caching. Serving 50 tenants with ~5,000 documents each in production.
Claude Code and Cursor are part of my daily engineering workflow, not autocomplete. I treat them as a system I engineer:
Custom skills
Engineering roles encoded as layered skill documents: scope, phasing, ticket decomposition, architecture and code layout.
Multi-agent harness
Work broken into atomic tickets with objective acceptance criteria, each implemented by a worker agent starting fresh, gated by review and capped retries.
Rules & plugins
Project conventions enforced through Claude rules and reusable plugins, so every agent session follows the same standards.
Hands-on editing
Cursor as the daily driver for interactive editing and refactoring alongside the agent workflow.
