About

I love walking, meeting new people, and being on new roads. I look after building and prioritizing roadmaps while focusing on new ideas, architecture, performance, automation, and the autonomy of developers. On the technical front, my area of interest ranges from Design Research to developing Frontend and Microservices and all the way up to DevOps, AI and LLM. In my experience of about 15+ years, I have built applications across domains such as Public/Private Cloud, FinTech, Hospitality, Education, and Real-estate.
