I’m Vinay, a Distributed Systems Architect specializing in infrastructure that operates under adversarial constraints.
My work focuses on building high-throughput data systems that are resilient, scalable, and—crucially—sustainable. I have a deep background in reverse-engineering detection mechanisms and architecting systems that can withstand rigorous platform defenses.
The Journey
In late 2023, seeing a market inefficiency, I engineered a distributed request orchestration system capable of processing 2 million requests per day. It leveraged a mesh of over 1,200 residential proxies and complex token sharding to bypass standard rate limits.
This system generated $500,000 ARR in just six months.
However, speed without sustainability has consequences. My infrastructure was eventually detected, leading to a cease-and-desist from Twitter (X) and a complete system shutdown. This was an expensive but invaluable lesson in the reality of Layer 4 vs. Layer 7 detection and the importance of compliance.
The Pivot
I didn’t stop. I rebuilt.
My second iteration, X Lead Scraper V2, was designed with a completely different philosophy: Compliance and Intent. Instead of brute-force throughput, I focused on behavioral mimicry and network isolation.
- Throughput: 10k highly-targeted requests/day.
- Result: Zero detection events, fully compliant operation, and sustainable revenue for 8+ months.
Today, I apply these lessons to build “unbreakable” distributed infrastructure and consult for Venture Capital firms and crypto projects on system resilience.
Core Expertise
- Distributed Systems: Async I/O orchestration (Python/Node.js), Kubernetes auto-scaling, and distributed rate limiting (Redis).
- Adversarial Engineering: Anti-fingerprinting (TLS/JA3), behavioral anomaly evasion, and detection system analysis.
- Strategy: Balancing technical velocity with long-term legal and platform compliance.

I am currently available for select consulting engagements focused on infrastructure design, anti-detection strategy, and technical due diligence.
