What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in innovative environments that value technical expertise and foster growth.

I am a dynamic and results-driven Backend Engineer with over 3 years of experience in the technology sector, specializing in distributed systems and machine learning operations. I graduated from IIT Delhi with a dual degree in Chemical Engineering, which has provided me with a robust foundation in software development and data analytics. My journey has led me to work with innovative teams, where I have contributed to significant projects that enhance user experience and optimize system performance.

At NextDoorDukaan, I have played a pivotal role in developing a platform that connects local shopkeepers with users for grocery delivery. I led the Search AI Team, where I designed and implemented a deep learning-based microservice that personalizes search results for over 160 million monthly active users. My expertise in building scalable data pipelines and cloud infrastructure has enabled me to streamline operations and improve user engagement significantly.

My passion for technology drives me to continuously seek opportunities to leverage my technical skills in innovative environments. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to data-driven solutions that make a meaningful impact.
