Founding Engineer at Merlin AI Software (YC S24), Nov 2025 - Present · 10 mos, Bengaluru

Personal goal pursuit at Career Break, Aug 2025 - Oct 2025 · 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Stepped into an early-stage EdTech venture to pursue a goal I care about Building software that serves educators and institutions. As one of the early engineers, I wore multiple hats and owned core product surfaces from architecture to ship. What I owned and built: • Took the core education ERP from shaky to stable — refactored a legacy codebase into strict TypeScript modules with NestJS validation pipes, cutting production errors by ~40%. • Designed and built a headless form-builder service from scratch (NestJS + Supabase/PostgreSQL) that digitized recruitment and onboarding for 200+ faculty members. • Set up the team's observability foundation with PostHog and Incident.io, giving everyone real-time visibility into client-side errors and user behavior to drive decisions. • Led an HRMS module end to end, guiding a small team through Agile delivery with a steady sprint cadence. The venture ultimately wound down, but building a product this hands-on making architectural calls, shipping fast, and owning outcomes was the most formative stretch of my career and deepened my conviction about building for education.
