About

Things I Believe

  • Obsession guarantees success.
  • Open source can change careers.
  • Good engineering is not just code.

What I Am Trying To Do

I want to get better at the whole loop, not just the coding part: noticing a real problem, building a small version, showing it to people, hearing that it is mid, and improving it anyway.

I have not built a breakout success yet. That is the honest version. I keep building because every attempt teaches me where my taste is fake, where my assumptions are weak, and what people actually care about.

What I Work With

  • Backend engineering
    Django, Python, APIs, PostgreSQL, Celery, Redis, Docker, and production systems.
  • Product building
    Early-stage apps, user workflows, MVPs, product experiments, and fast iteration.
  • Open source
    Django, GSoC, contributor experience, contribution guidance, and maintainable project tooling.
  • Community building
    Django India, meetups across 10+ Indian cities, DjangoDay India, events, and developer outreach.
  • AI products
    LLMs, agents, evaluations, AI workflows, and practical AI features.
  • Web and mobile
    Next.js, React Native/Expo, deployment, app store workflows, and frontend-backend integration.

Experience

  • Data engineer, Coforge (Contract work)
    Built production data pipelines for a private enterprise client, processing 100+ files per day.
  • Co-Founder, Self-employed (few months)
    Built an HR-tech platform from scratch, working across backend, frontend, cloud infrastructure, and AI features. The platform was built with Django, Next.js, AWS ECS, RDS, S3, and CI/CD workflows. I also worked on RAG pipelines and LangChain-based integrations to bring AI capabilities into the product. Along with the engineering work, I led a small team and helped shape the product direction from an early stage.
  • SDE 1, Zelthy (Jul 2024 - Jul 2025)
    Worked on Zango, an open-source Django meta-framework for building multi-tenant applications. Contributed to its internals while also setting up the test suite, adding Ruff and pre-commit workflows, and rewriting major parts of the documentation.
  • SDE Intern, Humalect Technologies (Oct 2023 - Apr 2024)
    Built backend features for alerts and recommendations, replaced slow ORM paths with tuned Postgres queries, and worked on ingestion pipelines with Snowflake and Databricks.
