About

I build backend systems that scale. Currently at Swiggy, one of India's largest tech platforms, I engineer Go-based microservices that power Instamart's Supply Chain — serving millions of orders daily. I've driven a 20% reduction in production error rates, not by patching symptoms, but by rethinking service reliability from the ground up. Before that, at Harness (a $3.7B DevOps unicorn), I cut bug discovery time by 50% and accelerated release cycles by 40% — shipping faster without shipping broken. What I bring to the table: → Production-grade backend engineering in Go and Java → Microservices architecture, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD → Strong DSA fundamentals — 1,100+ problems solved across LeetCode & GFG → A habit of measuring impact, not just shipping code I'm actively exploring Software Engineer (SE1/SE2) roles where I can own meaningful backend problems at scale — across fintech, SaaS, infrastructure, or consumer tech.
