My journey started as a Computer Engineering student with a deep curiosity about how software systems are built from the ground up. During college, I dove into web development, databases, and machine learning — shaping a strong foundation in problem-solving and software engineering. I graduated with a Grade A+ and went on to publish research on a KNN-based recommendation system I built as part of my final-year project. After college, I started out building UI dashboards integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365, improving data visualization by 40% and cutting decision-making time by 25%. I then grew into a Full Stack role — developing a payment gateway serving 66 million users with 125,000 daily transactions, and a real-time analytics dashboard powered by Apache Kafka and Pinot that reduced query latency by 76%. Outside of work, I enjoy building personal projects — from a neighbourhood e-commerce platform to a URL shortener and a video streaming service. I'm driven by clean architecture, real-world performance, and the satisfaction of shipping systems that actually work under pressure.
