About

I’m a Software Development Engineer at Alteryx, with a B.Tech from IIIT Allahabad. I specialize in building scalable, high-performance systems that streamline operations and enhance efficiency across large-scale distributed environments. My core strengths lie in System Design and Programming, with expertise in Java, Spring Boot, C/C++, and hands-on experience with technologies like Redis, Kafka, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aerospike, and gRPC. I’m also proficient in Docker, AWS, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and Datadog, ensuring robust, cloud-native deployments and observability. I actively leverage AI-driven tools such as OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline to accelerate development, improve productivity, and enhance problem-solving efficiency. Beyond work, I’m passionate about competitive programming and continuous learning—constantly pushing myself through coding contests and exploring new technologies to deepen my understanding of system internals and emerging tech trends. Always eager to tackle new challenges, design elegant solutions, and contribute to impactful, high-scale systems !
