About

I like building things end to end. I’m a Data Engineer and Product Builder working at the intersection of AI, data, engineering, product and design. My engineering work has given me a strong foundation in data systems, backend development and distributed processing. Alongside that, I’ve worked on UX and product consulting, which has pushed me to think beyond the systems behind a product and understand how people actually experience and use them. That combination has shaped how I approach problems: Understand the problem → understand the system → design the experience → build → ship. I enjoy ambiguous problems where the solution isn't obvious, whether that's building a data platform, designing a complex workflow, developing an AI-powered experience, or figuring out how technology can solve a real operational problem. I’m particularly interested in: • AI & Data Engineering • Data platforms & distributed systems • AI-ready / ML data systems • Backend & Product Engineering • AI product development • UX, Product Design & Design Systems • 0→1 product building My technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, Apache Spark, React, Flask, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Docker and Git, along with experience across data, backend and product layers. On the product side, I work with Figma, UX/UI, design systems, user flows, prototyping and product thinking. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy building products from scratch, taking ideas from problem definition and product thinking through design, engineering and deployment. I was also part of the winning team at Smart India Hackathon 2023 and have participated in 20+ hackathons. I’m especially interested in teams where engineering is closely connected to the user - AI/Data Engineering, Forward-Deployed Engineering, Product Engineering and AI-focused product teams. Ultimately, I want to build systems that don't just work technically, but make technology genuinely useful to people.
