About

Philomath, developer &
open-source enthusiast.

I genuinely enjoy the whole arc — from the first idea to a shipped product someone actually uses. Every build starts with one intention: solve a real problem and help people.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Pune, India, with 5+ years at thinkbridge. My work centres on designing and building efficient, dependable APIs — mostly with ASP.NET Web API, SQL Server and the modern .NET stack, deployed across Azure and GCP.

I came into engineering with one conviction: software should make someone's day a little easier. That belief still drives how I approach a problem — understand it properly, build it cleanly, and ship something that lasts. Outside the day job I'm an Android tinkerer and an open-source enthusiast.

  • Anchor the support function for a long-running fintech platform — built its operational backbone from scratch: structured daily handovers, absence-proof handover documents, and knowledge-transfer docs where none existed.
  • Hunt down production issues before anyone reports them, and pitch code and process improvements the client consistently adopts.
  • Work hand-in-hand with the team lead to run the team day-to-day — reviewing PRs, unblocking engineers, surfacing blockers early, and mentoring the support group while shipping fixes of my own.

  • Led the platform's migration from Java on GCP to .NET on Azure end to end — carried the remaining codebase across, re-homed every database, storage account and cron job, and switched Java off for good.
  • Kept the product moving while re-platforming it — shipping new features in both stacks (Java + .NET) in parallel with the migration.
  • Helped shape how the team works — a regular voice in grooming and brainstorming calls, and creator of the "why / what / how" Jira ticket analysis that's now standard on the project.

  • Cut my teeth on an internal invoice-management platform — built its chat feature for Excel on both web and desktop, delivered key workflows, and burned down a long tail of bugs.
  • Drove an ed-tech platform for early-age learning to a stable release — pagination, API optimizations and hardening across every module.
  • Earned a place on the fintech platform and shipped a steady stream of digital features — including one that's now a core capability of the product.
