I'm an engineer focused on distributed architectures, database internals, and high-performance infrastructure. I enjoy building things from scratch to understand how they work under the hood.

• D. E. Shaw India: Technology Developer Intern (May 2026 – Jul 2026) | Architected automated load balancing for Apache Kafka clusters and developed internal admin REST endpoints.
• Prometheus (LFX Mentorship): Open Source Contributor (Mar 2026 – May 2026) | Refactored core startup sequences in Go to execute WAL replay asynchronously, eliminating monitoring gaps in HA scenarios.
• SymPy (Google Summer of Code): Open Source Contributor (May 2025 – Sep 2025) | Engineered mathematical wrapping models and optimized computational geometry algorithms in Python.

I write deep-dive articles on computer science fundamentals and system internals on Hashnode:

• The Binary Indexed Tree and how it is used in Redis
• Inside PostgreSQL: A bird's eye view
