About

“Trusting everyone is dangerous, but trusting no one is even more dangerous.” I’m a software engineer focused on building and owning systems that prioritize correctness and reliability, scale over time, remain operable in production, and support meaningful business outcomes. Currently, I build and own systems for a financial platform supporting fund administration, investments, and operational workflows. My focus is on system design, APIs, and integrations where data consistency, access control, and failure handling are non-negotiable. Over the years, I’ve worked across FinTech, GovTech, SaaS, and low-code platforms, contributing to systems that: - Manage $3B+ in assets. - Process ₹50Cr+ in payment flows supporting 10K+ users with seamless order and payment workflows. - Power national-scale government programs serving millions of users - Increase user conversion by 35% through frictionless authentication systems - Serving ~160K production requests per day with stable performance and reliability - Reduce operational overhead through automation and integration-driven workflows Technically, I specialize in TypeScript and Node.js, spending most of my time designing API-first architectures, asynchronous workflows, and domain models that integrate with third-party systems. While my core strength is backend engineering, I work full-stack when required, particularly in scenarios where backend design and user interfaces need to evolve together. I use AI-augmented development to accelerate scaffolding, design exploration, and test generation—while personally owning architectural decisions, security, and production reliability. AI helps me move faster; I decide what matters. Outside of work, I’m interested in economics, financial systems, and incentives, and how software shapes real-world decision-making. If you're working on complex systems, integration-heavy platforms, or want to exchange ideas on engineering and finance, feel free to connect.
