About

I'm a full-stack engineer, which mostly means I like building the whole thing — the API, the database, and the screen people actually click on — and making sure none of it breaks when real users show up. Right now I'm at Pepper Square, leading a project where I built out a NestJS API and a React web portal as one connected codebase. It's the kind of work I enjoy: figuring out auth flows, wiring up payments so they don't double-charge anyone, keeping things running on AWS even when the systems we depend on go down. A lot of it is just making sure the boring stuff works reliably, every time. Before that I was at I-PAC, building real-time dashboards during election campaigns — taking raw voter data from 175 seats and turning it into something the teams on the ground could actually use to make decisions. Fast-moving, high-pressure, and a great place to learn. When I'm not working, I build things to push myself further. I made a real-time chat app that can handle 500+ people connected at once without dropping messages, and I'm working on a self-hosted AI assistant that can answer questions from my own notes. I learn best by building something hard and figuring it out as I go. I studied Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay. These days I care most about writing code that's clean, easy to work with, and built to last — and helping the people around me do the same. I mostly work with TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS. Always happy to connect with people building interesting things.
