I build software for the real world.

I'm a full-stack engineer with a strong grip on Java, React, and cloud tech. I studied BSc (Hons) in Computer Science at BITS Pilani and am currently pursuing an MTech in Artificial Intelligence at IISc Bangalore.

My tech journey began during the 2009 recession when I joined a Malaysian firm as opportunities were drying up. I later worked with IBM on large-scale telecom and enterprise platforms, sharpening my skills on robust backend systems.

After a health setback in 2012 that left me partially paralyzed, I launched SmallBug from my hospital bed—more out of obsession than necessity. That phase didn't slow me down; it shaped my mindset: just ship it.

While rebuilding, I dabbled in Upwork and Fiverr. What started as freelancing evolved into GlobusLogic—a product and consulting studio helping Indian SMEs go digital with clean, functional software.

Living in a student-heavy neighborhood in Delhi inspired me to start KitabiKeeda, a platform where students collaborate, share notes, and build communities. I'm currently revamping it into a focused space for student-led learning and knowledge exchange.

On the side, I contribute to open-source healthcare tools like OpenMRS, reimagining core features like pediatric growth charts using React. I enjoy architecting scalable systems with Spring Boot and AWS, and I'm actively exploring how AI/ML can solve real-world problems.

When I'm not building software, you'll find me exploring ancient Indian mythology through places like Kishkindha Parvat, Abhimanyupur, and Chitrakoot—or capturing wildlife through a camera lens.
