About

I’m an SDE3 and Full-Stack Software Engineer with proven experience delivering scalable, high-impact systems across Enterprise Software, Consumer Internet, eCommerce, and FinTech domains. My core expertise is building robust applications with JavaScript, Node.js, and React.js, designing efficient distributed systems using Redis and RabbitMQ, and architecting secure, reliable, and cost-effective solutions on AWS and GCP. I’m equally comfortable designing cloud-native architectures - leveraging services like AWS Lambda, EC2, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and GCP BigQuery - to deliver resilient, data-driven applications at scale. Alongside my backend focus, I have hands-on experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and have delivered microservices and event-driven pipelines that handle high data volumes with low latency. As an ex-founder, I thrive in fast-paced startup environments, balancing shipping velocity with engineering best practices like CI/CD, OKRs, and robust security standards (including ISO 27001 implementation for RBI compliance). My open source contributions, including work on the Aarogya Setu ePass feature during COVID, reflect my commitment to solving real-world problems through technology. Tech Stack: Node.js, JavaScript, React.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, EC2, S3), GCP BigQuery, GraphQL I love working on products that create measurable impact for customers.
