AI-first backend, platform & product-minded execution
Senior Software Engineer
I am a self-made engineer who learned by building, shipping, breaking, and improving real systems. My work sits at the intersection of backend depth, platform thinking, and applied AI - from payment infrastructure and cloud architecture to LLM features that need to be fast, grounded, observable, and safe in production.
I like going deep, learning fast, and owning hard problems end to end - especially where AI meets real product and infrastructure constraints.

Explore skillsAbout me
I am based in Bengaluru and have grown by being relentlessly hands-on. I am strongest in backend and cloud systems, but I am most useful when a problem cuts across APIs, infrastructure, product behavior, and AI workflows at the same time.
I stay close to new models, tooling, and developer workflows, but I am not interested in AI demos that fall apart in production. I care about evals, latency, tenancy boundaries, grounding, rollout safety, and whether the feature actually helps the user.
Strong delivery starts with clarity on business constraints, customer impact, and operational burden. I ask direct questions, document tradeoffs, and bias toward systems that teams can understand, operate, and extend without heroics.
