About

I'm a Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience working across the tech stack — primarily in backend engineering, while also contributing to frontend and infrastructure when needed. I’ve built large-scale, high-performance systems at companies like BlackRock, Tala, Myntra, and Visible Alpha, driving end-to-end impact across the entire SDLC — from architecture and design to development, deployment, and mentoring. At BlackRock, I’m part of the AlphaGen Engineering team, building high-concurrency systems (20K+ RPM) for end-to-end model lifecycle management. At Tala, I developed global payment systems with multi-NBFC, credit card, and auto-debit capabilities. At Myntra, I led major projects like a predictive ML-based capacity engine and a monolith-to-microservices migration, while guiding junior engineers and driving system reliability. At Visible Alpha, I worked on data and ML platforms, building low-code tools, notebook services, and scalable infrastructure for data science workflows. I bring a T-shaped skill set with deep backend specialization and broad proficiency across frontend, infra, and machine learning. As a polyglot developer, I enjoy working with diverse languages and systems (Java, Python, Go, Scala, Node.js), and thrive in designing distributed systems, writing clean, maintainable code, and mentoring teams to build reliable, scalable products.
