I build backend systems that don’t fall apart under pressure.

I enjoy making complex things simple — designing clean microservices, optimizing cloud architecture, and writing code that behaves (most days).

If you're into scalable systems, event-driven architectures, and mildly sarcastic commit messages — we might get along.

Originally from Pune, now based in Dublin. I moved for my Master's, stayed for the weather (just kidding — stayed for the systems engineering).

Outside of work, I enjoy long walks through API documentation, casual arguments about folder structure, and exploring cities one quiet café at a time.

Sometimes, I build things that never leave localhost, and that’s okay.

IBM

july 2024 - june 2025

Moved fraud detection services to a serverless setup using AWS Lambda, SNS, and SQS — less cost, more scale, fewer headaches.

Tweaked event-driven pipelines for real-time magic.

Patched some very angry bugs.

Mastercard

january 2022 - july 2024

Built a Kafka-based ingestion engine so fast it should come with a seatbelt.

Designed a reporting plugin that plugged in like LEGO — no extra code, no drama.

Collaborated with teams, mentored juniors, and occasionally tamed Jenkins.

ISV

october 2018 - october 2020

Built secure auth plugins for Gluu Server using Java & PF4J — enabling login with X.509 certs (or magic cards, if you're into that metaphor).

Worked with global teams and ETL pipelines to keep data flowing and clients happy.
