About

Loves to build, ship, and test products fast! I understand the intersection between tech & product and am an empathetic problem-solver and a team player. A strong believer of NOT building things in isolation and doing the right trade-off calculations beforehand. I emphasize less on the technologies and more on the core fundamental algorithms and design (both high level and low level) problems which could bring real user or business impact. Programming languages - Go, Python, JavaScript (w/ TypeScript), Java, Shell Tools worked with: Backend (Gin, FastAPI, NestJS, GraphQL, Swagger, widely used ORMs like Drizzle, TypeORM), Infra (Terraform, K8s), Messenging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, PubSub, SNS), Data storage and processing (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Clickhouse, Hive, Presto), Frontend (React/ecosystem, NextJS, Tailwind) ML/AI (Langchain, Langgraph, Chroma, Tensorflow, ONXX, built FS RAGs from scratch) Others (Jmeter, Docker, Git, etc.)
