01profile

Building software that has to keep working.

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with a knack for building reliable, scalable software. At Bajaj Finserv Health I've contributed to features used by millions — from building responsive UIs to designing automated test suites that cut regression time significantly. I thrive at the intersection of engineering quality and product impact.

  1. Who I am

    A full stack engineer who treats quality as part of the build.

    Software Engineer at Bajaj Finserv Health since January 2023, working out of Nagpur, India. I own delivery end to end — requirements through to production — across frontend, backend, and test automation.

  2. Where it started

    Formal grounding in computer science fundamentals.

    A six-month PG Diploma in Advanced Computing at CDAC took me through DSA, operating systems, DBMS and computer networks alongside full-stack development in Java, React, Spring Boot and MySQL. It ended with a capstone I still point to: the Go Bus platform.

  3. What I build

    Patient-facing product on a platform used at scale.

    Features for one of India's leading digital health platforms, automated regression suites in Selenium and Playwright, and contributions to microservices architecture improvements — shipped in cross-functional Agile teams with product, design and QA.

  4. What I'm exploring

    Cloud architecture, AI and quantitative systems.

    AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, with ongoing interest in distributed system design. Outside of work I experiment with LLMs and embeddings, and study market microstructure by building backtesting systems.

  5. Where I'm heading

    Open to teams building things that have to stay up.

    I'm open to full-time roles, freelance work and interesting collaborations — particularly where engineering quality genuinely matters to the product.

What I'm reading, building and testing on my own time.

Curiosity that hasn't turned into a shipped project yet — but shapes how I think about the ones that do.

technical exploration

Artificial Intelligence

Fascinated by how machines learn and reason. I follow AI research closely and enjoy experimenting with LLMs, embeddings, and intelligent automation.

Machine Learning

I enjoy working with real-world datasets — training models, analyzing features, and applying ML to solve practical problems.

Algorithmic Trading

I explore quantitative trading strategies — backtesting systems, studying market microstructure, and building data-driven models to understand price behavior.

beyond the editor

Startups

Passionate about how zero-to-one products are built. I follow startup ecosystems, study business models, and love the challenge of turning a technical idea into a real product.

Reading

Non-fiction: engineering, startups, psychology of decision-making. Favorite reads include The Lean Startup, Zero to One, and Thinking, Fast and Slow.

Traveling

New places sharpen my perspective. I find that exploring different cultures makes me a better product thinker and problem solver.
