available for architecture & consulting engagements
Full-stack architect based in Vadodara, India. Twenty-plus years turning hard technical problems into products — across insurance, fintech, gaming, and logistics — for startups and enterprise teams alike.
I work at the intersection of hands-on engineering and technical leadership — writing code when it matters, and setting direction when that matters more. I've led teams through legacy migrations, built products from a blank repository, and kept systems both fast and cheap to run.
A geek since the BBC Micro days, I've been part of the open-source community since 2000, and I care as much about the developer experience on a team as I do about the product it ships. InsuranceBankingFintech GamingEducationLogistics
Where it's viable, I push business logic into configuration rather than code, so teams can change behavior without waiting on a release.
Scalability and low running cost aren't in tension if you design for them together — I treat infra spend as a constraint from day one, not a cleanup task later.
I stay close to the codebase — reviews, pairing, and the occasional hard problem myself — so technical direction is grounded in what's actually shipping.
I map technical debt honestly and fix it in a way that fits around delivery commitments, not instead of them.
A configuration-driven product platform that lets insurers launch products and partner integrations without engineering intervention. Cut PDF rendering time from 30s to ~2s by replacing Chrome-based generation with Typst.
A fantasy sports app built around drafting a team, not individual players. Reworked the architecture to scale up and down with strong seasonal demand.
A fleet and workforce management suite — vehicle tracking, maintenance, driver management, compliance — spanning web, Android, and iOS.
Customer-facing marketplace front end. Built the AB-testing framework, led the JS-to-TypeScript migration, and shipped SSR for SEO and load time.
