About

I'm a software engineer who enjoys building products and refining them until they are fast, simple, and reliable. I like breaking down complex systems, questioning assumptions, and finding cleaner solutions.

I'm particularly interested in mathematics, algorithms, and computational problem solving. A lot of my time goes into exploring data structures, optimization, and competitive programming.

I've worked across startups, product teams, and agencies in both B2B and B2C environments. My experience includes AI-agents for E2E testing, engineering analytics tools, educational products at the Wadhwani Foundation, and consumer applications such as Swiggy's SuprDaily, where performance and user experience mattered at scale.
