About

Technology is only as meaningful as the lives it touches. That's the filter I apply to the work I take on, the systems I build, and the people I choose to spend time with. I'm a software engineer at Kotak Mahindra Bank, building data platforms at the scale of one of India's largest banks. I care deeply about designing systems that last — the kind where you own the architecture, the implementation, and the impact. Long term, I want to build products that reach millions of people. I grew up in circumstances where access to the right opportunities made all the difference — and I haven't forgotten that. I actively mentor underprivileged students navigating their way into tech, particularly those from backgrounds where that path isn't obvious. If I got here, I want to make sure the door stays open for others. I'm an athlete — cricket and volleyball, both seriously. Represented NIT Nagpur at inter-NIT level in both sports and still play every weekend. Sport taught me how to compete, how to lose well, and how to show up consistently — things no classroom gets right. I also create. I paint, make music, and edit videos — running a storytelling page called the_his_story where I document human experiences through digital media. Art and engineering aren't as different as people think. Both are about finding the cleanest way to express something complex. If any of this resonates — whether it's about tech, mentoring, sport, or storytelling — I'd love to connect.

  • Part of the Data Platform Engineering team at Tech@Kotak.
  • > DataVigil (Data Quality Platform) — Currently building a centralised DQ platform that automates data integrity checks, reconciliation workflows, and exception reporting across both DQ 1.0 (legacy) and DQ 2.0 (enhanced) rule sets. Integrated EMR Spark as a compute engine to support large-scale cross-datasource DQ checks — enabling rule execution across heterogeneous source pairs (Redshift↔Oracle, Redshift↔S3, Sybase↔MSSQL) and multi-format filesystems (CSV, Parquet, JSON, Iceberg) on S3.
  • > DataPulse (Data Platform) schema management module — Designed and implemented it by extending the Redshift schema pipeline to automatically mirror table definitions into Apache Iceberg format on S3 and register them in AWS Glue Data Catalog, enabling Athena, EMR, and Flink consumers to query via open table formats without Redshift coupling.
  • > Dataverse (Data Governance Platform) — architected the platform's SSO/authentication layer (OIDC, RBAC, JWT via Ory Hydra), the Data Contract platform governing data ownership and quality standards org-wide, and a Unified Search algorithm consolidating fragmented search endpoints into a single recursive cross-entity filter engine.
