Ten years building backends across commerce, fintech, and insurance — services, schemas, and the quiet decisions behind them.

About
I'm a software engineer in Bengaluru. Most of my work sits behind the product — the services that keep things running, the schemas underneath them, and the decisions that don't show up in screenshots.
Earlier, I built a mutual fund engine that serves national banks and stock exchanges. Before that, I co-founded a services company out of college and shipped web apps for a handful of startups.
I care about clear abstractions, APIs that age well, and systems that hold up. Mostly Python and Go these days, with Django, AWS, and whatever database fits the problem.
