I’m a software engineer focused on backend systems, scalable applications, and building products people actually use. Beyond writing code, I enjoy mentoring developers, sharing knowledge with the community, and continuously exploring how software works under the hood.

Let's TalkSee My Work

01.About Me

Over the past few years, I’ve worked across startups, internships, hackathons, research, and community initiatives. My experience spans backend engineering, cloud deployments, AI-powered applications, and building products from idea to production.

I’m particularly interested in scalable systems, distributed architectures, and the engineering decisions that make software reliable. Outside of work, I mentor students, organize developer communities, write technical content, and continuously experiment with new technologies.
