I am a Senior Software Engineer at Levels.fyi ↗️, and before that I was at Postman ↗️, Cimpress ↗️ and PeopleGrove ↗️. Backend and infrastructure is where I am strongest, but I have shipped across the whole stack for years.
Outside of work I build and run my own products. Not side projects that sit in a repo, but real ones with paying users, servers I maintain, and support I answer. That is the part most engineers skip, and it is the part that changed how I build things.
What I do
Node, TypeScript, Go, Postgres on the backend. React and Tailwind on the frontend. Event driven systems, queues, microservices and serverless where they earn their place.
Taking an idea to a launched product, including the unglamorous parts. Billing, auth, notifications, admin tooling and the decisions about what not to build yet.
Finding why something is slow and fixing it properly. Query optimisation, caching, ingestion pipelines, and migrations that do not take the system down.
AWS, Cloudflare and my own servers. Docker, reverse proxies, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, backups and the security work around all of it.
Shipping AI features that hold up in production. LLM pipelines, retrieval, agents, evaluation and cost control, built into products people actually pay for.
Reviewing systems and code for maintainability, correctness and cost. Design systems, testing strategy, and mentoring the team so the improvement sticks.
Some things I have shipped
compensation records powering a salary aggregation engine at Levels.fyi, answering in under 50ms.
time to first interaction on Postman’s All Workspaces page for large teams.
from a workspace restriction feature at Postman that I planned, designed and built end to end.
migrated in 7 hours with a Temporal workflow, without overwhelming a single internal system.
PostgreSQL major version upgrade across every service, zero data loss and near zero downtime.
visitors to a side project of mine, 100K of them in the first 24 hours after it hit Hacker News.
The full detail, with dates and context, is on my resume.
Products I build and run
These are mine. I designed them, built them, deployed them and I keep them running.
I also maintain git-sync ↗️, a Go CLI for backing up Git repositories, which has picked up 500+ stars and 18,000+ Docker pulls.
How I like to work
I am based in India and work well across timezones. Written communication over meetings.
I do my best work when I own a problem end to end rather than a ticket at a time.
Build it because it is the right answer, not because we already started building it.
Teams should be able to pay down technical debt without asking permission first.
