01About

A practical mindset for systems that work reliably.

Senior Engineer and Full Stack Developer based in Bengaluru, focused on scalable backend services, secure APIs and the interfaces built on top of them.

Who I am

Focused Engineer with a practical mindset for building systems that work reliably in real environments. Currently working with Magna Powertrain, contributing to a large-scale web application across both backend APIs and frontend development.

My core work centers on designing and implementing scalable backend services, building secure and maintainable RESTful APIs, and integrating them cleanly with modern web interfaces. On the frontend side, I help translate complex workflows into clear, usable interfaces that support real business processes.

I work extensively with TypeScript, Node.js, and modern web frameworks, while maintaining disciplined practices around code structure, testing, and collaboration. My experience includes version control with Git, containerized builds using Docker, and CI/CD automation for predictable deployments.

“Engineering, to me, means building solutions that hold up under real use and create measurable impact.”
