I build backend systems and distributed infrastructure at scale. 3+ years at startups like NammaYatri, Juspay, and Vahan, focused on performance and reliability.
Backend systems, distributed infrastructure, performance optimization
I work on backend and distributed systems -- designing, building, and optimizing infrastructure at NammaYatri, Juspay, and Vahan. Most of my work involves making things faster, cheaper to run, or more reliable.
Day to day, that means system design, cloud infrastructure, and performance work across Haskell, Node.js, Redis, Kafka, and AWS. I like working close to the product and figuring out how to solve real problems with good engineering.
