Backend Developer

I design APIs, data models and the systems behind them, and keep them fast. 2+ years shipping production code with Python/Django, Node.js and React.

About

I'm a backend developer who likes owning a feature from the first data model to the deployed API. I work mostly with Python/Django, FastAPI, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis, and I'm comfortable building the React/Next.js front end when a project needs it.

Right now I'm a Software Developer at Otulia, a luxury marketplace for cars, real estate and yachts, where I built the blog CMS, a threaded comments API and the Rankings section. Before that, at Cognix (BITS Pilani), I redesigned a backend and cut its response time by 70% for 1,500+ users.

I have an M.E. in Computer Science from Thapar Institute.
