What I'm looking for

I'm seeking backend/platform roles where I can build scalable, cost-efficient cloud systems, lead architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable performance and reliability improvements in cross-functional product teams.

I am a backend and platform engineer with a track record of designing and shipping high-throughput, cost-efficient systems across fintech and consumer platforms.

At AngelOne and Apna I led architecture and performance work that reduced latency (P90/P99) dramatically, scaled services to billions of events per month, and cut infrastructure costs by large margins while building resilient fault-tolerant systems.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving cross-functional initiatives, and building platform primitives—authentication, location services, experimentation, and fin‑ops—that enable product teams to move fast and reliably.
