About

I've spent 5+ years turning complex fintech problems into Android apps that feel fast, clean, and effortless for the people who use them every day. I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Mintoak, where I architect and ship features on an Android payment platform used by thousands of merchants across India. Before that, I built production apps at Swipe (YC S21) — a Y Combinator-backed B2B SaaS startup — where speed, stability, and clean code weren't optional. ─── What I actually build ─── → Android apps with Jetpack Compose + MVVM that are fast to ship and easy to maintain → Cross-platform features in Flutter when one codebase needs to do the work of two → Backend integrations using Spring Boot when the mobile side needs a solid API → Fintech and payment flows where correctness isn't negotiable — real money is on the line → Offline-first architectures using Room DB so apps work even in low-connectivity regions ─── What drives me ─── I care about zero-crash production code, UI that feels native (not ported), and architecture decisions that don't haunt future engineers. I started my career as a Technical Recruiter — which gave me something most engineers don't have: I understand exactly what hiring managers and senior engineers look for. That perspective shapes how I communicate, document, and collaborate. ─── Currently ─── 📍 Gurugram, India | Senior Software Engineer @ Mintoak 🎓 BTech CS — Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology 🏅 Google Developer certified | Kotlin certified 💬 If you're building something meaningful in fintech, payments, or B2B SaaS — or if you're hiring senior Android talent — let's connect.
