Where I've worked
Six years, mostly split between fintech and product teams — with a detour into open source along the way.
Fixed a database connection explosion in our OpenSearch pipeline, cutting usage by ~68%. Led the transaction service and user onboarding platform.
Built Kotak Investments' in-house Mutual Fund platform from scratch, designed its data flow architecture, and led migrations without losing data or uptime.
Built the frontend for business client dashboards.
Built the Auction Savings Module, an automated template generator, and the Event Summary feature — all from scratch.
Redesigned the settings and presets menus, and built a Quality Settings widget in Python and GTK.
Fixed bugs and built features for the Pitivi video editor.
Worked with Kafka and Kubernetes, managed AWS services, and set up a working dev architecture on production.
Studied fileless malware and how to detect and remove it.
Applied CNNs to terrain classification for defense planning.
Built an e-commerce site with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AngularJS.
