About me

Building robust
backends that scale.

I'm a Backend Developer currently pursuing my Master of Computer Application at Jagan Institute of Management Studies, New Delhi, while actively working at Learnyst in Bengaluru.

My expertise spans designing and optimizing RESTful & GraphQL APIs, building healthcare-compliant systems following HL7 FHIR standards, and writing clean, testable backend code with a focus on performance.

I love exploring new technologies, participating in hackathons, and pushing the boundaries of what modern backend systems can do.
