— about

Core contributor at marchtee.com since Sep 2022 — built auth systems, checkout flows, an ERP layer, and CI/CD pipelines from scratch, across five production repositories.

GTM and growth engineering: checkout, payments, conversion, fraud flagging, reconciliation, international orders, and revenue-side automation.

Previously a ServiceNow developer at Cognizant, and a research intern at CDAC working on TTS for low-resource Indian languages.

Interested in building things that are fast, honest, and well-made. I write Python and JavaScript, and reach for whichever tool solves the problem cleanly.
