About

As a Senior Software Engineer at ImageKit.io (since July 2023), I champion high-performance media delivery infrastructure—bringing deep expertise in modern backend systems and scalable architecture. Before this, I honed my craft at Postman (API Platform) and BigBasket, where I led impactful initiatives like architecting and developing an in-house product analytics platform to manage event ingestions at the rate of 100K events per minute, a semi‑automated review‑moderation platform supporting 1.2M reviews annually, to name a few. When I’m not optimizing or shipping robust systems, you’ll find me at the intersection of curiosity and creation—bringing weekend ideas to life as solopreneur through products like ipoalerts (https://ipoalerts.in) and unfake (https://unfake.dev). Beyond these, I enjoy continuously exploring and sharing learnings through blogs, open-source repositories, and public speaking. You can find a few of my talks on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVQSXEffSQWXEtChS6O55uaN3MajvDygv) Why connect with me? - You value engineering leadership that delivers performance, reliability, and user-centered design. - You appreciate indie innovation that solves real problems—without waiting for someone else to build the tools. - You're passionate about APIs, SaaS, clean data, or building in the open (#BuildInPublic)—and always eager to learn and collaborate. - You just want to say hi.

Research And Development Intern

Jun 2018Aug 2018 · 2 mos · Mumbai Area, India · On-site

  • Worked on a UNICEF funded mobile app called Jellow Communicator (AAC) under Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay, which aids children with speech impairment for effective communication using visual icons. Studied language and behavioural patterns of kids suffering from speech impairment and used the same to visualise it on a dashboard. This usage data was recorded at a second-scale through their Jellow Communicator AAC app that is already being used by the kids' parents and caretakers to help them communicate. The visualised data then helped me work on a more optimised user-targeted algorithm, which made the app augmented in terms of language capabilities for them.
