About

I enjoy turning complex problems into clean, functional code, and continuously explore modern frameworks, APIs, and DevOps tools like Docker and Kubernetes to improve my workflow. I've been exploring AI-native and cloud-native architecture - building LLM data pipelines, working with RAG systems. I love contributing to projects I admire and use in my own workflows - recognised as a top contributor by 10+ organizations including Juspay, Interledger, Flexprice and a lot more. Outside of development, I bring a creative edge with experience in video editing, motion graphics, and UI design. I’ve led content for channels with over a million in reach, blending visual storytelling with technical skills to craft engaging digital experiences.
