Building elegant, high-performance software — from real-time dashboards and cross-platform mobile apps to games with custom physics engines.
About
Who I Am
I'm a Software Development Engineer and Caltech CS graduate (GPA 3.7) with a passion for building software that genuinely delights users. My experience spans full-stack development, API design, real-time dashboards, and cross-platform mobile apps.
I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments — whether that's shipping a Flutter app in 60 days, enhancing maternal healthcare platforms with clean APIs, or building a game with a custom C physics engine from scratch.
Beyond tech, I'm an international basketball player (represented India at the U16 FIBA Asia Cup), a published research co-author in Springer Journals, a theatre lead, and a guitarist. I bring that same creativity, discipline, and focus to every line of code.
