About

Overall 5+ years experienced backend developer with a strong background in building and maintaining scalable, high‑performance server‑side applications. Strong understanding of software development principles, including object‑oriented design, test‑driven development, and Agile methodologies. Proven ability to work in a team environment and deliver high‑quality, production‑ready code under tight deadlines. Currently, I’m driving innovation at SMC Global Securities Ltd., a leading financial services provider in India, where I develop cutting-edge solutions for stock trading and back-office operations. Before this, I thrived in the fast-paced streaming industry and gained valuable insights from my experience in banking. Beyond code, I'm driven by a constant thirst for knowledge. Whether it's attending cutting-edge conferences, immersing myself in programming resources, or sharing my insights through tech speaking engagements, I'm relentless in pushing the boundaries of my expertise. I'm a strong believer in collaboration and fostering connections with fellow developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts.
