About

Backend engineer at Vegapay, working on the payments infrastructure behind card and UPI transactions — reconciliation, dispute management, and fraud risk. High-volume, correctness-critical pipeline work — event-driven Kafka services and reconciliation jobs matching 300k+ transactions a day. Recently I've been building out our UPI switch integration and a rail-agnostic dispute lifecycle engine, both largely from the ground up. Stack: Java/Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka (MSK), AWS (Lambda, S3, EKS), Python, ClickHouse. BE in Computer Science + MSc in Economics from BITS Pilani.
