About

I am a Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, high-impact systems across FinTech, Auto-Tech, and EdTech domains. Currently, I work as an SDE II at Spinny, where I built Spinny Capital (NBFC) — developing rule engines and loan automation systems that powered thousands of deliveries, boosted the loan attach rate by 7%, and reduced the loan approval time by 14%. Beyond FinTech, I’ve contributed to scaling Spinny’s Auto-Tech platforms, ensuring reliability and efficiency at scale. Previously at Gradeup (now Byju’s), I developed role-based access control, automated payment workflows, and built internal applications that streamlined operations and cut sales effort by 50%. My expertise spans Python, Django, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, AWS (EC2, S3), with strong foundations in system design, distributed systems, and performance optimisation. I thrive on owning end-to-end development, translating complex business requirements into robust technical solutions, and driving measurable business outcomes. 🔹 Key Achievements: Built Spinny Capital’s pre-approval & rule engine systems powering NBFC operations. Delivered automation and integrations that directly improved revenue and operational efficiency. Recognised with Turbocharged Performance & Revving Newcomer awards at Spinny. Winner, Smart India Hackathon (IIT Kanpur, 2019). I am passionate about designing scalable architectures, distributed systems, and AI-driven solutions, and I’m eager to take on SDE III / senior backend challenges at fast-scaling product companies.
