01 / about

I make backends that don't break at 3am.

Software Engineer at TCS working on core banking microservices — the kind that process real money for real people. My day-to-day lives in Python, Kafka event streams, and Kubernetes clusters where a bug isn't just a bug.

Before that: built a Web3 social app on Polygon, explored ZK proofs on-chain, and shipped a full-stack finance analytics platform. I like systems that are hard.

Currently targeting python/microservices developer roles. Open to Python/FastAPI/K8s/backend roles.
