About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building secure, scalable systems at companies like Google and PhonePe, and recently transitioned into full-stack game development as the founder of an indie studio. At Google Cloud Security, I contributed the integration of a scanner platform while mentoring engineers and optimizing for scale. At PhonePe, I launched AutoPay features across UPI, and e-NACH, handling sensitive payment workflows and integrating with national platforms like NPCI. Currently, I run SkySmith Studios, building "Ground Water" from the ground up—designing gameplay systems, scripting, audio, testing infra, and managing the full release cycle onSteam. 💡 I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering, product, and user experience, whether it’s building real-time game mechanics or designing resilient cloud systems. Tech I'm fluent in: C++, Java, Go, Godot, GCP, Kubernetes, Spanner, Docker, REST, Pub/Sub, Vulkan Domains: Cloud Security, FinTech, Game Development, Distributed Systems, Embedded Software Let’s connect if you're hiring for high-impact engineering roles—or want to talk games, systems, or scaling cool ideas.
