What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable products—owning system design, high-performance services, and clean UI libraries—where I can ship fast, measure latency, and collaborate across teams for stable integrations.

I’m a Software Engineer who spearheaded frontend system design for a greenfield Talent Intelligence platform, serving as the core developer. I’ve been ranked as the top contributor for the organisation’s main frontend repositories and I owned the UI library’s updation, standardising semantic versioning for stable cross-team integrations.

On the backend side, I’m building optimized Golang microservices to handle high-volume API requests. By focusing on concurrency patterns and strict edge-case management, I reduced service P99 latency by 30%.

Before this role, I strengthened my product and applied-ML foundation through internships—automating onboarding workflows with Python/Shell & Workfront at Adobe, building a triage-routing platform that cut assignment delays by 60%, and engineering a computer vision aerial object detection model at DRDO with custom training pipelines and hyperparameter tuning to achieve 97% accuracy across 10 classes.
