About

Who I Am

I'm a developer passionate about designing and building scalable API architectures that power enterprise systems. My work lies at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and API design, creating systems that not only scale but are built for performance and maintainability.

Currently, I'm a Technical Lead at Birlasoft, working with Synchrony — a US bank — where I lead API integration initiatives, architect cloud-native solutions, and guide teams through complex technical challenges.

After hours, I'm building Foundry — a launcher and stack-tracker for people who run too many tools to remember. Every Sunday, I write about the journey in my newsletter, Loomwork.
