At Cashfree Payments, I developed an end-to-end Merchant Onboarding Platform with KYC uploads, OTP verification, bank validation, and automated compliance workflows. I also built a Payment Gateway Checkout for cards, UPI, net banking, wallets, and EMI.

At Vegrow, I built a customer onboarding and relationship management system that replaced a third-party CRM, reduced annual costs by ₹45 lakhs, and cut onboarding time from one day to about eight minutes. I also developed a shared component library and composable UI system that reduced bundle size from about 30MB to 12MB.

At Drishti (Acq. by Apple), I developed real-time analytics and monitoring interfaces using Amcharts, WebSockets, and ShakaPlayer. My work also included frontend performance optimization and debugging for real-time applications.
