Adhi Narayan Baskaran builds the backends that AI agents run on.
He is a Senior Backend Engineer in Dubai. At one.com he built an agentic AI website builder and commerce services that take around 10k requests a second.
Now
An orchestrator in the middle, the services it calls around it. Every dot on a line is a request.
Drag a service to move it. Press one to take it down and watch its requests reroute; press the orchestrator to send a burst. Keyboard: Tab to a service, arrow keys move it, Enter takes it down.
All services are up. Requests flow from the orchestrator to each one and back.
Agentic AI
The backend of an AI website builder at one.com. It plans a site's structure, sections and copy, streams them as they are written, and supports abort and retry. Every run is traced for latency, tokens and cost.
Grounded answers
A RAG pipeline over help-centre articles: chunking, embeddings and vector search, so the answers come from the docs.
Payments at scale
Multi-tenant Node.js and TypeScript services for products, orders, payments, coupons and gift cards. Around 10k requests a second on Kubernetes, with Stripe Payment Intents and webhooks that retry.
