Software developer building scalable systems and distributed architectures that power real-world operations.
I’m fascinated by how systems scale, how they fail, and how thoughtful engineering can turn complexity into clarity.

Tech Stack

I'm a generalist at heart who can build with anything, but here's the core stack I've spent the most time with:

Experience

Software Developer

SHJ International Technologies Pvt. LimitedJuly 2025 – January 2026
  • Engineered multi-warehouse WMS for Fortune 50 telecom client processing $10M+ monthly inventory with 99% accuracy integrated EDI workflows to automate 1,000+ monthly shipments across distribution networks.
  • Built RESTful search APIs for driver/load matching with real-time filters, reducing empty miles by 15%.
  • Created APIs for SKU damage tracking with image storage and timestamp audits.
  • Built backend warehouse & labor forecasting service used for $50M+ annual capacity planning.

Software Developer Intern

SHJ International Technologies Pvt. LimitedJan 2025 – June 2025
  • Architected centralized job scheduling system by migrating distributed cron jobs to BullMQ/Redis queue architecture, building management APIs with retry logic and job monitoring—improving system flexibility and reliability by 50%.
  • Collaborated in Agile/Scrum environment using Jira and Confluence for sprint planning and documentation.

Selected Work

A lot of ideas, but some are still under construction!

SkySphere — Drone Survey Management System

Geospatial SaaS Platform

Architected and built a full-stack, multi-tenant SaaS platform for drone mission management featuring a geospatial waypoint engine that supports Crosshatch, Perimeter, and Grid survey patterns with real-time mission monitoring via Socket.io WebSockets streaming live telemetry every 2 seconds. Implemented a server-side Telemetry Simulator to interpolate drone movement across waypoints with realistic battery drain modeling and automated post-flight survey report generation. Ensured strict tenant isolation by embedding organizationId within JWTs and enforcing it across all Prisma queries, achieving zero cross-tenant data leakage.

Memorix — AI-Powered Knowledge Base

AI RAG Platform

Built an AI-powered RAG knowledge platform that ingests PDFs using LangChain into Pinecone with strict company- and role-based namespace isolation, enabling secure multi-tenant retrieval. Delivered natural-language Q&A through streaming Google Gemini responses over Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time interaction. Engineered a “Decision Supremacy” system where saved Decisions override outdated documents within the AI prompt context, ensuring responses always reflect the most current organizational thinking. Enforced end-to-end RBAC across ingestion, retrieval, and response layers, achieving zero cross-tenant data exposure.

About Me

My work begins with curiosity — a desire to understand how complex systems behave, interact, and evolve. Software became my medium because it allows me to explore structure, efficiency, and the hidden mechanics behind everyday processes.

Software engineering feels natural to me because it lives at the foundation of things. It's where complexity is managed, where systems find stability, and where small decisions shape large outcomes. I'm drawn to designing architectures, exploring distributed systems, and building reliable infrastructures that make real-world operations possible.

Profile

But my interest goes beyond technology itself. I'm curious about the relationship between systems and people, between logic and creativity, between engineering and meaning. I believe building software is also a way of understanding the world — simplifying complexity, seeking clarity, and continuously learning.

This portfolio reflects that exploration — a collection of things I build, questions I pursue, and ideas still taking shape.

A mix of fiction to get lost in, and non-fiction to learn from.
