About Me
Technical Team Lead. Fintech systems builder.
$ whoami
I'm a Technical Team Lead and Backend-focused Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years of professional experience (coding since 2019) building scalable fintech and lending platforms. I specialize in designing and delivering loan management systems, payment workflows, and financial backends used in real production environments.
My core stack includes Java, Python, and JavaScript, with deep hands-on experience using Spring Boot and Django for microservices-based backend systems. On the frontend, I work confidently with React and Angular, building secure, performant, and maintainable user interfaces that integrate cleanly with complex APIs.
I've worked extensively with Apache Fineract and Mifos, implementing loan origination, repayment schedules, payment reconciliation, refunds, customer agreements, and third-party integrations. I understand fintech systems end-to-end — from UI → API → database → deployment.
Beyond coding, I lead teams, review architecture, mentor engineers, and collaborate closely with product and business stakeholders. I also handle DevOps responsibilities — CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, environment management, and automation — ensuring reliable and scalable releases.
“I'm passionate about building robust, maintainable systems in fintech domains where accuracy, scalability, and reliability are non-negotiable. I thrive in roles that combine technical depth, ownership, and leadership.”

BetterFinco
Fintech Lending Platform
Problem
A client needed a production-grade digital lending platform: multi-tenant, compliant, with robust queuing for payment events and a polished Mifos frontend.
A full Apache Fineract / Mifos-based lending platform built as a multi-service system. Covers the complete lending lifecycle — loan origination, repayment schedules, BNPL flows, contract management, and async payment processing via a dedicated queue service.
- Microservice split: middleware, contract service, queue service — each independently deployable
- Mifos UI customised for client-specific loan products and repayment schedules
- BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) demo flow with installment engine
- Queue-driven payment reconciliation and event processing
Automately
Browser Automation SaaS
Problem
Teams needed repeatable browser automation without writing scripts — a SaaS that handles browser sessions, queuing, and result reporting in one place.
A full-stack automation platform with a browser extension, backend API, UI dashboard, and dedicated queue + browser-service microservices. Users define automation workflows that run in headless browser sessions managed by the platform.
- Chrome extension as the user-facing automation trigger and recorder
- Decoupled browser-service runs headless sessions — offloaded from the main API
- Queue service handles job scheduling, retries, and result delivery
- Playwright-based test suite (automately-pw) for full E2E coverage
DripFunnel AI
AI-Powered Marketing Automation
Problem
A client needed an AI-augmented drip campaign tool that could generate content, manage funnel stages, and integrate with existing marketing stacks — built as separate, deployable services.
An AI-integrated drip campaign and marketing funnel system. The AI backend handles LLM-driven content generation and funnel logic, while separate API and frontend layers serve the product. Two frontend codebases — AI-specific and core — kept modular for independent deployment.
- AI backend handles LLM integration for content and sequence generation
- Separate core API and AI API — independently deployable, cleanly separated concerns
- Two frontend builds: core product UI and AI-specific interface
- Drip sequence engine with triggers, delays, and audience segmentation

Surviving Bangalore. No job. No backup plan.
Between finishing training at Geekskool and landing a tech role, there was a gap — and Bangalore doesn't wait. I rode for Zomato, Dunzo, and Rapido to keep going. Early mornings, long shifts, city traffic — all while learning to code every spare moment. That chapter built the discipline, the grit, and the hunger that still drives every system I build today.
Delivery Partner
Sep 2019 – May 2020 · 9 mos
Delivered food across Bengaluru — rain or traffic, every order counted. Woke up early, rode through the city, and spent every free hour learning to code. This is what survival in Bangalore looks like.

Delivery Captain
Sep 2019 – May 2020 · 9 mos
Ran Dunzo deliveries across the city — groceries, documents, essentials. Multiple gigs running at once to keep the bills paid while the real goal was always: learn to build software.
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Bike Taxi Captain
Sep 2019 – May 2020 · 9 mos
Rode passengers across Bengaluru as a Rapido captain. No job in tech, no safety net — just the city, a bike, and the determination to code my way out. Every trip funded the next hour of learning.
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
“Riding through Bangalore traffic with no tech job taught me more about resilience than any classroom. I wasn't waiting for an opportunity — I was creating the conditions to earn one.”
