About

I’m a backend software engineer passionate about building high-scale distributed systems and solving real production problems. At Zomato, I work on backend platforms powering enterprise products, monetization systems, and developer infrastructure. My work has included optimizing large-scale systems (64% CPU reduction, 38% latency improvement), launching revenue-generating features, and building tools that improve developer productivity. I enjoy working on problems involving system performance, distributed architectures, event-driven systems, and backend scalability. Before Zomato, I worked at Radisys building cloud-native microservices and Kubernetes-based platforms. Outside of work, I actively contribute knowledge to the developer community and was ranked #1 Worldwide Contributor on Stack Overflow (Jan 2023) with over 20M developer reach. Gold Medalist in Computer Science. Always excited to learn, build meaningful systems, and solve challenging engineering problems.
