About

Hey, I’m Sahaj 👋🏻— someone who’s endlessly curious about how things work and obsessed with doing them right. I don’t like half-baked anything — whether it's a side project or a production release, I’d rather take my time and get it perfect. That mindset got sharpened at Barclays, where I grew from writing clean full-stack code during my internship to owning automation workflows, building scalable Azure Functions, and crafting AI agents that actually solve business problems. Working here taught me how to build software that’s not just cool — but reliable, secure, and built for real people. Academically, I graduated from IET DAVV, Indore (CGPA 8.9/10), and acquired strong fundamentals across backend, frontend, and systems design. I’m constantly looking for ways to bridge the gap between “what exists” and “what can be better.” Outside of tech? You’ll find me chasing leather on the cricket pitch or disappearing into the wild with a backpack and no signal 🌄🏏. If it’s not code, it’s probably a sunset. Or both.
