I'm a software engineer in Hyderabad. I build things end to end — data model, API, interface, deployment — because that's the only way I actually understand a system. Most of my projects started as a problem I had myself, and I keep using them after they ship, which is how I find out what I got wrong.

That's meant Next.js and TypeScript on Postgres for Switchboard, a .NET REST API with role-based auth for Maple Studio, and gradient-boosted classifiers over network traffic for Mal Detect. I like the part where a vague idea turns into a schema, and the part where something slow gets fast.

Outside the editor I've run student communities and taught programming to peers — which is where I learned that explaining a system clearly is most of understanding it. The work I care about is the kind where I own a feature properly and get to see how it behaves once real people are using it.
