About

At Razorpay, my focus has been on architecting platform systems that prioritize privacy and efficiency, such as ReBAC & ABAC, and creating dynamic workflow engines that simplify product integration. My efforts in service optimization have led to a substantial 20% cost reduction, reflecting my commitment to operational excellence without compromising performance. Previously, as a Technical Lead at Paytm, I spearheaded the design of a new search engine and a recommendation engine, significantly enhancing customer experiences and click-through rates. Our team's innovations were recognized with the "Market Disruptor Of The Year" award, affirming our contribution to the competitive edge in the fintech space.
