About

I am a software engineer with extensive experience building scalable, high-performance systems across both fast-growing startups and large tech companies. My expertise includes software architecture and driving cross-functional projects that solve complex business problems. At GoPay, I have led initiatives such as building the transaction pipeline, designing the promotion handling engine, and creating a unified KYC system through a common SDK. At Vedantu, I transformed legacy ETL processes into real-time data streaming pipelines using Kafka, Debezium, and Apache Pinot, optimising analytics and data flow. I am passionate about clean code, system standardisation, and mentoring teams to achieve technical excellence. I thrive in collaborative environments where technology is leveraged to solve real-world problems.
