About

As an Engineer at Cashfree Payments — one of India's leading payment gateway companies. I work at the intersection of backend engineering and fintech: connecting merchant systems to payment rails, debugging integration failures at scale. I graduated with a BE in Computer Science from JSS Science and Technology University, where I spent three years building a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, databases, and full-stack development. But the real learning happened when I joined Cashfree as an intern in January 2025 and had to ship production-grade integrations from day one. What I bring to the table: → Backend development Spring Boot and REST APIs → Database work across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL → Payments domain expertise — payment gateways, fintech workflows → Observability tooling: Elasticsearch, Kibana, MetaBase → Strong CS fundamentals: OOP, algorithms, data structures I'm early in my career but not early in my thinking. I take ownership, ship fast, and care deeply about systems that work reliably under pressure. Currently open to backend engineering roles where I can grow into distributed systems, API architecture, or fintech infrastructure. Let's connect — whether you're hiring, building, or just want to talk backend.
