I’m a backend engineer who enjoys turning complex product requirements into reliable systems. Currently an SDE-2 at Pronto, I work on the backend experiences that power everyday home services. Previously, I worked at CRED and Uni Cards, building systems across payments, repayments, subscriptions, and lending workflows. My experience also includes internships at Disney+ Hotstar and Betterhalf.ai. I enjoy owning problems end to end—from shaping the design and writing code to rolling it out and understanding how it behaves in production. I care about clear abstractions, practical engineering decisions, and the small details that make products work better for users. I hold an M.Tech in Computer Science from IIIT Bangalore, where I also served as a teaching assistant for Algorithms and Software Production Engineering.
