Building reliable systems, solving practical problems, and keeping complexity under control.
Built to be reliable,
designed to stay simple
I’m a software engineer based in India, primarily working on backend systems, APIs, and product infrastructure. I focus on building reliable, scalable software with clean architecture and practical engineering decisions. My approach is simple: reduce unnecessary complexity and build systems that hold up in real-world usage.
I’ve worked on SaaS platforms, real-time systems, developer tooling, and production backend infrastructure across startups and freelance projects. I enjoy solving practical engineering problems, improving existing systems, and building software that remains maintainable as it scales.
