What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in building and scaling products across fintech, logistics, health-tech, and social media sectors. My deep expertise in technologies such as Node.js, NestJS, Flutter, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP has enabled me to deliver resilient software solutions that drive business success. I take pride in my ability to mentor engineers, helping them grow into mid- and senior-level roles, and I regularly conduct technical interviews for US clients, achieving a high placement rate.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead at Reeddi, I lead a squad of six engineers, where I designed a micro-service architecture for the LoyaOne loyalty platform, achieving an impressive 99.95% uptime. My contributions have significantly improved delivery success rates and reduced asset loss incidents. I am passionate about automating CI/CD processes and implementing best practices in software development, which has resulted in substantial improvements in team efficiency and product quality.
