Who I Am

I'm a Backend Software Engineer based in Mumbai, India, with deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native architectures. I build systems that scale — from real-time communication platforms processing millions of events, to cost-optimised cloud migrations that save thousands annually.

Currently working at ICICI Lombard on AI-driven customer engagement platforms, and pursuing a Master's in AI & ML from BITS Pilani. I thrive in Agile teams where reliability, performance, and clean code are non-negotiable.
