About

🎯 About Me I'm a Senior Software Engineer (SDE-3) at D. E. Shaw, currently working with the Investment Management (DESIM) team. With 6+ years of full-stack development experience, I specialize in building high-performance frontend systems using React.js and developing scalable backend services in Java and Python. 🚀 What I Do Best I build fast, scalable, and user-focused platforms. My recent work includes revamping a portfolio analytics UI (cutting load times from 15s to under 3s) and developing end-to-end ESG and risk analytics tools — single-handedly delivering backend to UI, while collaborating with strategists on financial metrics. 🛠 My Tech Stack React.js, Redux, JavaScript, Java, Python, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, HighCharts, REST APIs. 👥 Leadership & Impact I lead sprint planning, mentor engineers, review code for quality, and have successfully onboarded interns whose projects were taken to production. I'm deeply passionate about clean code and delivering real business impact through engineering excellence. 💡 Looking Forward I'm excited by challenging problems in distributed systems, scalable data platforms, and AI-driven user interfaces — and always open to opportunities where engineering meets product impact.
