About

I’m a Software Development Engineer (SDE-II) with 4+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems in Golang. My work focuses on distributed systems, microservice architecture, and system optimization for low-latency, high-throughput products. Currently at Kissht, I lead development efforts in the Disbursal POD, working on critical financial systems like payout interfaces, bank integrations, and KYC verification flows — all designed to ensure reliability and speed at scale. Previously at Zomato, I contributed to the Search POD, improving search latency by over 60% and driving revenue-impacting ad integrations. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, mentoring teams, and designing resilient architectures that balance performance with maintainability.
