About
Still becoming.
I build software for a living and keep notes because my memory is less reliable than a written trail. The notes usually begin with a system that failed, a plan I avoided, a photograph I wanted to keep, or a question that would not leave me alone.
Past
I studied at Delhi Technological University and joined AlphaSense in 2024. My first professional work was close to the interface, building React micro-apps and GraphQL-backed product flows.
I later moved into the platform behind alerts and notifications, where the visible feature is only the last step in a much longer path through queues, workers, templates, databases, and production environments.
That move changed what I enjoy about engineering. I like following a failure through the whole system, finding the assumption that broke, and leaving behind a clearer model for the next person.
Present
I am a Software Engineer 2 at AlphaSense, where I build distributed platform services for alerting and notification delivery. Recent work has included architecture changes, service migrations, performance measurement, production rollouts, integration testing, and failures that crossed application and infrastructure boundaries.
My full-stack background helps me follow those systems through React and GraphQL product flows when needed. I also build AI-native engineering workflows around repository context, planning, implementation, review, testing, and delivery. Photography gives me a way to express my creative side and preserve how life felt.
Principles
Let the work meet reality
Learn enough to form a useful hypothesis. Build the smallest honest version, see what happened, and update the next attempt.
Follow the failure all the way through
A symptom is only the start. Inspect the system around it and keep going until the explanation predicts what you can observe.
Build support outside memory
Checklists, written updates, small time blocks, and a clear next action make good work more repeatable.
Leave room for the rest of life
Work matters to me, but it is one part of a life that also contains people, photographs, music, travel, silence, and ordinary evenings.
Ahead
I want to work on hard problems that reward deep engineering and produce real value. I also want to stay with a problem long enough to make the result useful to other people.
