How it started
I started my journey with a deep interest in algorithms and competitive programming, eventually reaching Specialist on Codeforces. This analytical foundation naturally translated into a passion for software architecture.
As the founding software engineer at FeathrTech, I built the engineering function from zero. Taking multiple products from initial requirements to live production across App Store, Play Store, and web taught me the realities of shipping real software.
Today, I lead a team of 10 engineers, establishing development workflows, code reviews, and release processes while remaining hands-on with the architecture and implementation of complex enterprise platforms.
How I work
Architect for scale
Design cloud-native services using containerized workloads that can handle real business demands.
End-to-end ownership
From database schema design to the final mobile app interface, I care about the complete lifecycle.
Client-focused engineering
Technology must solve business problems. I work directly with clients to translate their workflows into operational software.
Empower the team
Great products require great teams. I establish SOPs and development workflows that help engineers do their best work.
Beyond the code
Outside of leading teams and writing code, I actively contribute to open source and have ranked in the Top 70 globally for The Algorithms/Python.
I've also researched and authored papers on OCR-based table and invoice extraction, analyzing structured-document recognition challenges.
