About

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with experience building scalable, high-performance systems at BrowserStack and Fyle. My expertise lies in Python, Rust, and Ruby, with a strong foundation in backend architectures, distributed systems, and developer productivity tooling. What drives me is the challenge of designing systems that are not only fast and reliable but also maintainable and future-proof. I enjoy diving deep into system performance, observability, and scalability, ensuring that every solution I work on can handle real-world demands at scale. Beyond my professional work, I explore system design through side projects—ranging from building interpreters to productivity tools—which help me stay curious and continuously sharpen my problem-solving skills. I’m passionate about engineering backend solutions that simplify complex problems, improve developer workflows, and deliver seamless user experiences at scale.
