About
I am a backend-focused Software Engineer with a strong interest in building scalable distributed/ micro-service systems, especially in the payments and financial domain, and applying AI to solve real-world engineering problems. I have solid fundamentals in system design, databases, and distributed workflows, and I enjoy working on problems that demand both reliability and scale. Currently, I work at Xflow Payments, where I design and optimize backend systems powering cross-border payment flows and trading operations. My work includes building and refactoring scalable APIs, implementing limit-order and quote-lock systems that handle multi-million-dollar trading volumes, and ensuring high data consistency using SQL, DDD principle and Protocol Buffers. These systems are designed with a strong focus on correctness, latency, and fault tolerance, which are critical in financial infrastructure. I have also built an AI-based GitHub automation system to review pull requests, reducing operational costs and improving engineering efficiency. This reflects my interest in leveraging AI to enhance developer workflows and system productivity. I am an active open-source contributor through GirlScript Summer of Code (GSSOC), where I have worked on fixing production-level issues, improving backend routing, and collaborating across multiple repositories. I strongly believe in understanding core internals rather than relying only on frameworks. I actively explore AI model behaviour and follow ongoing research in this space. Alongside this, I have a strong problem-solving background. I am a LeetCode Knight with a 2000+ rating and have solved 1000+ problems, which has helped me build a structured approach to solving complex backend and system design challenges. Early in my career, I chose to work in a startup environment over larger organisations to gain deeper exposure, take ownership, and accelerate my learning curve, particularly in high-impact domains like payments. I am always interested in building reliable financial systems, solving challenging backend problems, and exploring the intersection of AI and large-scale infrastructure Computer Science undergraduate who has always been focused on academics and building strong fundamentals. Consistently performed well in studies, scoring 96% in 10th, securing KCET rank 900, and achieving 99% in PCMB (Class 12), showing strong dedication and discipline in education.
