About

I write software for a living and build strange, deep things for fun — and honestly the second part is where I learn the most. I've never been the kind of person who picks one lane and stays in it. If a problem needs me to go all the way down to how memory works, I'll go there; if it needs a clean interface someone actually enjoys using, I'll build that instead. Whatever the problem asks for, I pick it up. What stays constant isn't the tool — it's that I'd rather understand something end to end than half-know a lot of things. Lately I've been drawn to the low-level stuff most people never have to touch: why the exact same program can run ten times faster just from how its data is arranged, how a computer turns math into a photorealistic image one bounce of light at a time, how you fit a whole game into a browser and keep it smooth. I build these from scratch, on purpose — not because there isn't a library for it, but because building it is the only way I actually understand it. The other thing about me: I like proving things instead of claiming them. If I say something's faster, there's a number and a working demo behind it, not an adjective. Most of what I've made — games you can play, tools, experiments, write-ups of how I think through hard problems — is at tijil.life. Go press some buttons.

Work experience

Software Engineer 1 at SatSure, May 2025 - Present · 1 yr 5 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Building the systems that turn raw satellite imagery into decisions enterprise clients act on — geospatial analytics for crop monitoring and land assessment. Geospatial Analytics Platform • Develop and maintain a geospatial analytics dashboard used by enterprise clients for crop monitoring and land assessment • Built interactive map-based visualizations that handle large raster and vector datasets in the browser without degrading interactivity • Implemented multi-layer overlays and time-based comparison views, letting clients track crop health across seasons Backend & API Platform • Designed and shipped versioned REST APIs for satellite data processing, maintaining backward compatibility as processing logic evolved — existing client integrations kept working while new capabilities shipped • Architected async processing pipelines for compute-heavy raster operations and report generation, decoupling long-running jobs from the request cycle so the API stays responsive under load • Implemented job orchestration with retry semantics, failure isolation, and status tracking for operations running from minutes to hours • Own S3 storage architecture for satellite imagery and derived products — bucket layout, lifecycle policies, and access patterns across terabyte-scale data Data Engineering • Built a daily ETL pipeline on AWS Lambda that aggregates data across a large number of client accounts, running unattended in production • Engineered fuzzy-matching logic to reconcile inconsistent government land records across multiple Indian states — handling transliteration variance, spelling drift, and inconsistent administrative naming Reliability & Observability • Instrumented the processing stack with structured logging, metrics, and alerting to surface pipeline failures before they reach clients • Built validation and reconciliation checks to catch silent correctness failures in derived outputs

Software Engineer at -WorkEthix, Dec 2024 - May 2025 · 6 mos, Netherlands, Sole engineer on a two-sided hiring platform for the Dutch market. Owned it from architecture to production. Live at workethixrec.com Scope & Ownership • Only engineer on the product. Every architectural decision, implementation, and production issue was mine. Shipped and maintained a live commercial platform end to end. • Built two distinct product experiences (candidate-facing and employer-facing) on a shared backend, with divergent permissions, navigation, and data visibility. Core Systems • Authentication and role-based access control (RBAC): Session management, password flows, and permission boundaries enforcing strict separation between candidate and employer data. • Resume parsing: Built an upload pipeline that extracted structured fields (experience, skills, education) from unstructured PDF and DOCX documents. • Job matching engine: Ranked candidates against job listings using weighted attribute overlap across skills, experience, and role requirements. • Salary calculator: Estimated compensation ranges based on role, experience, and market inputs, calibrated for the Dutch market. • Built routing, form architecture, and validation across the complete candidate and employer journeys. Delivery • Deployed to production and maintained a live platform serving real users on both sides of the marketplace. Tech Stack React · Node.js · REST APIs · Authentication & RBAC · PDF Parsing · Responsive Web

Software Engineer at WNS, May 2024 - Nov 2024 · 7 mos, India, Application Development • Built enterprise mobile applications for employee management, covering both manager and employee workflows. • Developed manager and employee dashboards with role-based access control, interactive charts, filtering, and sortable data tables used daily across the organization. • Built the data visualization layer, including charts and reporting views that managers relied on for day-to-day decision-making. Performance • Reduced page load times by 35% through lazy loading, code splitting, and image optimization. • Profiled and eliminated rendering bottlenecks in data-heavy dashboard views. Engineering Practices • Set up CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and deployment gates. • Wrote unit tests across core modules to catch regressions before release. Tech Stack React · JavaScript · CI/CD · Automated Testing · Performance Optimisation · Mobile-First UI

Web Developer at Tata Steel, Oct 2023 - Feb 2024 · 5 mos, Remote, Completed a vocational training program in IT Services department, focusing on web development – Developed a website for the Raw Material Division of Tata Steel, enhancing online presence and information accessibility – Collaborated with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and implement web solutions – Utilized HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create responsive and user-friendly web interfaces – Gained hands-on experience in industry-standard web development practices and tools
