What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can drive platform automation and performance at scale, mentor engineers, and deliver reliable, maintainable systems in collaborative teams.

I am a senior software engineer with strong experience building and optimizing large-scale backend platforms and developer-facing products. I have driven automation efforts that drastically reduced delivery times and improved operational efficiency.

At Medable I led automation of the core study-building process and notification delivery, delivering an 80% reduction in study delivery time and faster end-to-end study delivery. I also led a team to improve maintainability and reliability of custom extensions.

At HackerRank I implemented mobile development assessments, optimized core code-checker services to reduce submission execution time, and built features for community products including ad units, projects-based questions, Jobs syncing, and certification/ mock-test systems with millions of attempts.

I contribute to open-source and personal projects including game development, a custom software-rendered game engine, and an algorithm visualizer; I focus on practical engineering, performance improvements, and shipping products that scale.
