About

I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and scaling distributed systems that power millions of users. From trading-critical infrastructure at Groww to high-QPS services at Flipkart and Android modules at Samsung, I've consistently delivered resilient, high-performance solutions. At Groww, I built foundational trading systems—from Smart Positions to live price pipelines—optimized for latency, scale, and reliability during peak events like Union Budget Day Trading and Election Results. I modernized infrastructure, tuned Kafka flows, and migrated data aggregation to edge computing with Cloudflare Workers. At Flipkart, As part of Catalog Core team, I helped carry out multiple Big Billion Days as the owner of highest QPS service within the company. I reduced bandwidth and CPU usage for the highest QPS service, led a 100TB Elasticsearch migration, and built brand-tiering features that drove massive GMV growth. I also engineered Redis backpressure and priority pipelines that transformed catalog update speeds. I also orchestrated At Samsung, I deployed Android modules across flagship devices and supported the T-Mobile/Sprint merger with custom onboarding flows. I thrive in fast-paced environments where ownership, clarity, and technical depth matter. Whether it's optimizing a call graph, scaling a service to millions of QPS, or debugging a production issue at 2 a.m.—I bring a builder's mindset and a bias for action. Let’s connect if you're building something ambitious and need someone who can turn complexity into clarity—and ship.
