About me
I am a software engineer with five years of experience designing scalable distributed systems,
data-intensive platforms, and user-facing products in fast-paced environments.
I enjoy turning ambiguous business workflows into reliable technical solutions, from backend services
and data pipelines to frontend experiences that help teams make decisions quickly.
Most recently at C3.ai, I owned end-to-end delivery for enterprise demand forecasting and inventory optimization
work, building distributed services, data pipelines, ML-powered workflows, and internal developer tooling.
Earlier, I built production mobile and web experiences at Flipkart, contributed to low-code integration platforms
at eQ Technologic, and strengthened my cloud and data engineering foundation through an MS in Information Systems
from the University of Utah.
My strongest work sits at the intersection of product thinking, full-stack engineering, data systems, and AI-enabled automation.
I like building practical software that improves messy real-world workflows and gives users something dependable to lean on.
