About

Building systems
that scale and
stories that matter.

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 7+ years of experience shipping production software across e-commerce, fintech, and health-tech. I specialise in backend architecture, SEO-driven platforms, and technical team leadership.

Currently at People Inc., having previously built at WebMD (doctor.webmd.com) and Mastercard Open Banking. I've gone from writing my first Node.js server to leading cross-functional engineering teams — and I still write the code myself.

When I'm not in a terminal, I'm likely on a motorcycle, planning the next road trip, or hunting for good food. Certified Scrum Master. Proud Mumbaikar now based in Bengaluru.
