About Me

I’m a software engineer who builds systems that are scalable, efficient, and actually useful. Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked with fintech teams to solve problems like optimizing legacy credit systems, reducing API error rates from 8% to under 0.05%, and building dashboards that catch issues before users do.


I’m obsessed with architecting systems that scale without breaking, designing AI-driven financial tools, and making complex backend services feel effortless. Right now, I’m building an autonomous trading algorithm for micro-investments (YUKTI), exploring reinforcement learning for real-world financial inclusion.


When I’m not coding, I’m probably brainstorming fintech ideas, refining my system design knowledge, or analyzing market trends.


Let’s talk about financial inclusion, AI-driven trading strategies, or the hidden trade-offs in system architecture.
