About

I’m a passionate founding engineer who has scaled two startups from 0 → 1, specializing in building scalable fintech SaaS products, microservices architectures, and high-performance backend systems. I bring deep expertise in database modeling, DB access pattern optimization, and real time issue detection & observability ensuring the systems I build are not just scalable, but also reliable and insight driven. With a strong focus on crafting clean, efficient, and resilient architectures, I thrive in fast paced startup environments where ideas rapidly evolve into impactful products.
