About

I have an appreciation for elegant solutions in realms stretching from engineering to mathematics to chess. Sometimes I come up with these elegant solutions. My primary interests lie in building, maintaining, and observing systems. I have honed my skills in architecting scalable and robust backend systems which serve as critical infrastructure in powering everything from user-intensive web applications to complex ML models. I am also an open-source enthusiast, with Lichess being arguably my favourite website.
