// engineer

I’m an engineer who builds scalable platforms, useful developer tools, and fun little experiments.
I currently work at Cashfree Payments on the Risk team, helping prevent fraudulent transactions. I’ve worked on systems handling thousands of transactions per second and helped resolve infrastructure challenges at scale.
As part of Google Summer of Code 2025, I contributed to Swift and built the Swiftly extension for VS Code. It introduced me to a new world of development tooling and ecosystems.
Over the past year, I’ve been building AI agents to make everyday work lighter and improve developer productivity for me and my team.
Apart from code, I’ve practiced Bharatanatyam since I was five. It has shaped how I think about structure, rhythm, and expression in everything I make
