What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, innovation, and a collaborative work environment.

I am a dedicated Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in backend development and data processing. With a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Bachelor’s from IIT Delhi, I have honed my skills in various programming languages and technologies. My experience includes leading a team of engineers to build robust backend systems and architecting efficient data processing services that significantly enhance performance.

During my tenure at Wipro Linecraft AI, I successfully re-architected a Data Processing Service, achieving a remarkable reduction in completion time by nearly six times. I also designed a real-time loss detection service that halved the attribution time, showcasing my ability to deliver impactful solutions. My technical expertise spans across Python, Java, and various backend technologies, including AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, which I leverage to create scalable and efficient applications.

In addition to my professional experience, I have a strong foundation in data science and machine learning, having developed a state-of-the-art language model during my internship at IBM Research. I am passionate about continuous learning and applying innovative solutions to complex problems, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a forward-thinking organization.
