About

I’m a Software Engineer and an engineering graduate from IIT Roorkee, passionate about turning complex challenges into elegant, high‑impact solutions. At Razorpay, I’ve helped build and scale our UPI payment infrastructure to process over ₹600 Cr in daily volume across 65,000+ merchants—boosting transaction success rates to ~80% and cutting infrastructure costs by ~$18K/month. I enjoy working on resilient backend systems, clean architectures, and developer tooling that actually improves velocity and quality. I'm driven by outcomes—whether it’s performance gains, improved reliability, or faster delivery cycles. My experience spans building production-grade microservices, designing APIs, and collaborating across teams to ship features that matter. Outside of work, I stay curious—contributing to open-source, exploring new technologies, and sharing ideas that push engineering forward. Whether it’s scaling systems or simplifying them, I care deeply about writing software that’s built to last. Core strengths: microservices · API design · backend performance · event‑driven architecture · automation & testing · cloud platforms · AI‑driven developer productivity Let’s connect if you’re looking to hire an engineer who cares deeply about clean code, system design, and delivering real business impact !!
