I've spent over a decade building products that people actually use — across food delivery, travel, fintech, and developer tools. I care about the craft: clean architecture, thoughtful UX, and shipping things that hold up under real-world pressure.

I think in systems. I move between mobile, backend, and infrastructure because good products don't respect org chart boundaries. I've built apps used by hundreds of thousands of people, open-source tools with nearly a thousand stars, and infrastructure that processes millions of transactions.

MSc in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Birmingham, where I was named Student of the Year. Originally from India, I've worked across three countries and now call Berlin home. When I'm not building, I'm probably photographing something.
