## About

I spent the last two years as the technical lead of Cabocab \- a ride\-hailing startup we built targeting Tier\-3 India\. I joined during my final year of university and went full\-time after graduating\. My job was everything on the technical side: designing the system architecture, defining API contracts, directing an outsourced development team, debugging live production failures, and keeping the infrastructure running\. I didn't have a senior engineer to hand things off to \- if something broke in production, I found it and fixed it\. The stack we shipped was Node\.js/Express\.js\. When it started breaking under load, I designed the replacement \- FastAPI \+ PostgreSQL/PostGIS \+ Redis with real\-time GPS pub/sub and geospatial queries\. I'm building that out now alongside the acquisition process\. A few specific things I'm proud of: · Redesigned the booking flow from 4 screens to 3 clicks with a live driver\-location view \- drop\-offs fell from day one · Replaced a recurring paid mapping API with a self\-hosted OSRM instance in Docker \- accurate road\-distance reporting at zero ongoing cost · Kept the production stack \(Linux, Nginx, SSL, PM2\) stable throughout the entire pilot with zero deployment failures Outside of Cabocab, I build tools for myself \- a multi\-agent API testing framework, a bulk image scraper, a note pipeline connected to Obsidian\. These are how I learn: pick a real problem, design the system, build it\. I'm strongest at system design and technical decision\-making\. My hands\-on Python and PostgreSQL depth is where I'm actively growing \- not something I'll pretend is already there\. Open to backend and full\-stack engineering roles where system thinking matters as much as writing code\.
