About

I’m a Software Engineer at Visa, building scalable microservices and GenAI-powered analytics dashboards that transform raw data into actionable risk insights. With 2+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve owned full-stack solutions across domains — from SaaS analytics to data ingestion platforms — focusing on performance, security, and automation. At Visa, I’ve led the end-to-end development of a core analytics dashboard, cutting load times by 80% through async schedulers and optimized caching, and built an MCP server for Jira that automated workflows by 40%. Previously at Morgan Stanley, I engineered a data ingestion platform automating 95% of uploads across heterogeneous sources and implemented a modular JWT authentication system used across services. I love working on systems that blend backend engineering, distributed design, and AI-driven intelligence, and I’m always exploring ways to make data-driven platforms faster, smarter, and more resilient. An active problem solver across multiple coding platforms, I thrive in environments where innovation meets impact.
