01 // IDENTITY
Building with a Product-Engineer Mindset
I'm a Software Engineer graduated from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where I led teams, ran large technical events, and built communities around space tech.
I enjoy building backend systems — distributed systems, long-running workflows, and observability. I'm drawn to problems that demand clean architecture and a sharp eye for how things fail and recover in production.
Outside engineering, I'm into finance and economics — curious about how technology shapes business and human behavior.
