About
I am a software engineer and a problem solver. I like to build things and then keep refining them until they feel right i.e. fast, simple, and doing exactly what they should. I enjoy taking systems apart, questioning assumptions, and rebuilding them cleaner.
Beyond engineering, I’m deeply interested in mathematics, algorithms, and computational problem solving. I enjoy thinking in terms of abstractions, patterns, and first principles, and I spend a significant amount of time exploring data structures, algorithms, optimization problems, and competitive programming.
My experience spans startups, product teams, and agencies, where I’ve worked across both B2B and B2C domains. Working in different environments has taught me how to adapt quickly, collaborate across teams, and balance speed with engineering quality. I’ve contributed to products at different stages — from rapidly iterating on early ideas to improving systems used by large user bases in production.
Some of the work I’ve been involved in includes AI-driven end-to-end testing agents and engineering analytics platforms, educational ecosystems focused on learning and mentorship at the Wadhwani Foundation, and consumer applications like Swiggy’s SuprDaily subscription delivery platform, where performance and user experience were critical at scale.
Experience
Software Engineer
Hatica
- Led frontend development of an AI agent for automated website testing using Playwright, Stagehand, AI SDK, reducing manual QA effort by 70%+.
- Built the platform UI in Next.js + tRPC, cutting integration boilerplate by∼35% and delivering the MVP in under 8 weeks.
- Upgraded the core engineering productivity platform from V2 → V3, redesigning UI, improving performance and reducing frontend bugs by around 30%.
- Implemented CI/CD workflows like GitHub Actions, pre-push hooks, AWS Amplify builds, and CodeRabbit to improve dev velocity.
- Optimized GraphQL queries and UI rendering paths, resulting in ∼15% faster API interactions across key features.
Frontend Developer
Wadhwani Foundation
- Collaborated on 3 distinct EdTech products, collectively catering to a user base of 1 million.
- Reduced first contentful page render time from 4.2 secs to 2.9 secs by implementing image compression, asynchronous loading and code splitting.
- Managed and streamlined sign-in/sign-up processes across multiple applications, improving user experience and reducing sign-up time by 20%.
- Contributed to code reviews, providing constructive feedback to team members, significantly improved code.
- Developed scalable, responsive, and reusable stateful UI components from the ground up using React, Redux, and TypeScript. Crafted a modular architecture to enhance code maintainability and facilitate seamless integration into diverse projects.
SDE – Frontend Intern
SuprDaily by Swiggy
- Revamped, debugged, refactored, and resolved application issues while optimizing performance.
- Implemented search optimization experiments to minimize user interactions for initiating searches on the app, particularly on the search page, enhancing user engagement and search efficiency.
- Optimized user experience, interactivity, and speed with seamless navigation in the checkout process.
