About

I’m a Software Engineer who enjoys getting dropped into unfamiliar systems and figuring them out. I like understanding how things work, breaking problems down from first principles, and using that to debug, optimize, and build better software. At Deloitte, I’ve spent the last ~3 years across internships and full-time roles building web and AI-enabled products using React/TypeScript, Node.js, Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and AWS. I’m backend-leaning, but I like being able to work across the stack when the problem needs it. My work has included designing APIs and service foundations, building React interfaces, implementing Git-backed version control for AI workflows, designing multi-tenant RBAC, integrating SSO/OIDC across different technology stacks, and debugging and scaling production systems. Some of the problems I’ve particularly enjoyed working on include improving the performance of a high-demand API by ~33%, helping stabilize and scale a production RAG application, making a redundant database path 10x faster, and designing multi-tenancy that reduced ~12 separate deployments to 2–3 shared ones. I’m particularly drawn to engineering problems that are a little messy — unfamiliar codebases, backend bottlenecks, async workflows, distributed state, open-source customization, and systems where the interesting problems only start showing up once real users hit them. Along the way, I’ve also mentored engineers, led security remediation work, written about production scaling internally, and spoken at ReactJS Bangalore about React Server Components. Mostly, I like building and understanding things, and occasionally discovering that the bug was, in fact, one missing line of code.
