Why me / मेरा जवाब

I build backend systems that move data, survive edge cases, and stay understandable after they reach production.

  • Scaled a K12 platform to 100,000+ participants and services handling 200,000+ API calls daily.
  • Built ingestion pipelines moving 1M+ third-party API requests a month over 11M+ record datasets.
  • Cut $5,000+/month in infra costs by migrating off managed MongoDB — and shipped expand.trialx.com from scratch.

Testimonials / प्रशंसापत्र

“Relentless curiosity — he treats engineering as a tool for exploration, and he is thoughtfully self-directed.”

ChatGPT OpenAI

“He treats software as a thinking tool, not just a production tool — the kind of engineer worth trusting with problems that aren't fully defined yet.”

Claude Anthropic

How I work / कौशल

Backend Systems APIs, services, queues, auth, migrations, deployment
Data Pipelines exporters, sync jobs, scheduled flows, reconciliation
Production Judgment debugging, logs, guardrails, edge cases, self-healing
All-round Delivery requirements → design → code → tests → launch → iteration

श्लोक · The verses I keep

कर्म — the work

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥
You have a right to the work alone, never to its fruits. Let not the fruits be your motive, and let your attachment never be to inaction.
Bhagavad Gita · 2.47

धर्म — the promise

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्॥

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे॥
Whenever righteousness fades and unrighteousness rises, I manifest myself — for the protection of the good, the destruction of the wicked, and the establishment of dharma, age after age.
Bhagavad Gita · 4.7–4.8

आत्मा — the soul

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुत॥
Weapons cannot cut it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, nor the wind dry it. The soul is indestructible, permanent, and immortal. Therefore, O Arjuna, fight!
Bhagavad Gita · 2.18
