About
I'm a backend engineer with 8+ years of experience across e-commerce and fintech, owning systems from initial design through to running them in production.
At Hyperface, I built a bulk notification platform serving campaigns of 5M+ notifications for major banks, and a config-driven credit onboarding platform that lets issuers integrate once and onboard any client without a code change. Earlier, at Meesho, I rebuilt checkout as it scaled past a million orders a day.
I like owning things end-to-end: design, trade-offs, and what happens after it ships. I've been part of founding teams for new product lines, which mostly means being comfortable when the spec doesn't exist yet.
Focus areas
- Distributed systems & service architecture
- Fintech onboarding & compliance workflows
