About

I'm a backend developer and project lead based in Udaipur, India, currently building telehealth systems for TruDoc in Dubai. Over the last eight years I've architected the core of products in healthcare, sports media, AI and enterprise — owning everything from database design and microservices to SSO, caching and production deployments.

My comfort zone is the server side: designing APIs and gateways, splitting monoliths into services, wiring up authentication and integrations, and making sure things stay fast and secure under load. Lately that's meant a lot of Go, MySQL, Redis and Docker Swarm for healthcare infrastructure, and before that custom RAG pipelines and LLM tooling for enterprise AI.

I like leading small, sharp teams, mentoring developers, and turning fuzzy ideas into shipped software. I'm a Linux lover, a little bit of a hacker at heart, and I keep learning across the stack — including a law degree along the way.
