About

I am a Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and building scalable systems. I have a strong interest in Backend Systems and have worked on large scale systems impacting a huge user base at top-tier companies like Meta, Bytedance, and Microsoft. Here, I share my learnings on software development, particularly systems design, real-world systems, and engineering best practices. Outside work, I like learning about psychology and neuroscience. I also have a keen interest in videography. If this resonates with you, let’s connect!
