About

I am a software engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable systems, distributed databases, and high-impact applications across fintech, ad-tech, e-commerce, and payments. At Stripe, I work on RelDB and control plane automation, driving projects like AWS Aurora version upgrades for 650+ clusters, etcd optimizations, and building a Kubernetes-inspired control plane to simplify AWS infra orchestration. Previously at Flipkart, I scaled India’s largest in-prem MySQL fleet (70k QPS, PBs of data) and built a managed distributed SQL (TiDB) platform that exceeded adoption targets two years early. Before moving into backend and infra, I built fintech and insurance mobile apps (HDFC Life, Birla Sun Life) at Kuliza and scaled InMobi’s Ads SDK from 70% → 99.99996% reliability, while also developing cross-platform plugins (Unity, React Native, Windows SDK). Recognized with awards like Za-bond (Kuliza), SpotR (InMobi), and Value Champion (Flipkart), I bring a mix of technical depth, system design expertise, and mentoring experience (Scaler mentor with 4.9⭐ rating). Passionate about solving complex problems, automating operations at scale, and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
