About

👋 Kon'nichiwa! I'm a full-stack and applied AI software engineer with 6 years of experience across various domains in tech. "If you ask me a question and I don't know the answer, I'm gonna tell you that I don't know, but I bet you what? I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer" - The Pursuit of Happyness. I firmly believe that any concept is learnable if approached with the right mindset. 🚀 Work with me? ✍️ I am currently available to collaborate on dev rel efforts for core tech products. Give me a problem, a vision, or a desired outcome, and I'll figure out the rest. I'm tech agnostic. Within the given constraints and context, I can learn and build with any tech stack to reach the required checkpost. To collaborate, please reach out directly via LinkedIn. I prefer efficient async communication via text. ✨ Let's connect :) Please don't just say "Hi". Give me the complete context in the first message itself.

Senior Software Engineer

Promoted

May 2022Present · 4 yrs · Bengaluru · Hybrid

  • Lead engineer for the UI/UX development of Enterprise Workbench (EW), a horizontal platform for creating and rendering complex form JSON schemas to manage profile data in a self-serve way. EW cuts form update cycles from 2-3 months to just a day or two. Speed ran development and helped launch the MVP ahead of time.
  • Built multiple web interfaces in React 18, Next.js 14 (App router), shared TypeScript libraries, implemented OAuth 2.0, and developed novel algorithms (like custom change tracking) and a web component SDK from scratch. Recently migrated the project to React 19 with Next.js 16.
  • Improved SDLC with custom tooling. Built a CLI to automate various steps using AI, like automatic batch commits, PR creation, Jira management, faster and better than both humans and agents. These innovations helped me push high-quality commits, PRs, tickets with better metadata with high velocity (Top ~10% across the company)
  • Independently built additional tools to help improve developer experience. For instance, built a special RBAC override tool to help QA testers instantly switch between various user roles to quickly test authorization flows without relying on third-party tools, re-login again or change roles manually in the DB.
  • Played an active role in technical and product discussions, where I contributed towards key architectural changes and UX design outcomes.
  • Mentored and groomed the extended team as a frontend SME through KTs and unblocking development hurdles. Onboarded both junior and senior engineers to contribute to EW and further extend its technical capabilities and reliability.
