About

Hi, I’m Vijay, a software engineer who loves solving complex problems and building systems that scale. I’ve worked across MNCs and global banks, and right now, I’m a Software Engineer III at JPMorganChase, working on high-performance microservices and cloud solutions. Whether it's automating security workflows, optimizing MongoDB queries, or mentoring teammates, I enjoy making tech work smarter. Outside work, I explore new tools, tech communities, and a good debugging challenge. I share a toxic relationship with football, a sport that drew me toward its everlasting charm seven years ago. I have played the game professionally for most of my life, going on to garner a plethora of accolades. I am a proud Manchester United fan, so if you are looking for a person with grit and perseverance, look no further. When I am bored out of my mind, I pen whimsical poems on topics that are either unconventional or frowned upon.
