the person behind the terminal
Fullstack engineer with 6+ years of experience crafting performant, scalable web applications. I've shipped features to hundreds of millions of users — from live cricket scoring during IPL to equipment management flows at Deel — and I care deeply about the craft behind each one.
Not all those who wander are lost. But some of them are debugging a race condition at 2 a.m.— Tolkien, probably, if he were an engineerTODO: replace
Known for delivering under tight deadlines, leading cross-functional efforts, and owning features end-to-end. Outside work, you'll find me watching cricket, hosting the Positive Shift podcast, or teaching frontend and system design to the next batch of engineers who'll one day outship me.

things I built because I couldn't stop thinking about them
2020
Mark, hide, and show private browser tabs with one click. Built when screen sharing became the new normal during COVID — turns out people don't want their colleagues seeing everything.

PodcastOngoing
A podcast about people, mindset, and meaningful conversations. Something I do when I'm not writing code — or sometimes because I needed a break from writing code.

Team Shiksha

2022paying it forward, every week
Beyond shipping product, I spend time every week teaching the engineers who are just getting started — the ones figuring out web, wrestling with system design interviews, and wondering if they'll ever feel like they know what they're doing. (Spoiler: you will. Sort of.)
I've been a part of Team Shiksha as an educator and community moderator — running occasional sessions, answering the same five questions about closures with genuine enthusiasm, and trying to make advanced topics feel approachable rather than terrifying.
Every Sunday
A structured weekly session covering the fundamentals and internals of frontend development — how the browser works, React under the hood, performance patterns, and the things that trip people up in interviews and in production.
Every Friday
Breaking down real-world system design problems — URL shorteners, live scoreboards, notification systems — with an emphasis on trade-offs, not textbook answers. The kind of sessions I wish I'd had when I was starting out.
what's on while I code
Phoebe Bridgers for focused work. Arooj Aftab when the deadline is tomorrow but the code is still broken. Occasionally the IPL commentary with the volume at 40%.
