About Me

I build production-ready web applications with clean architecture and modern tech stacks that actually scale.

Currently based in Bengaluru, I focus on creating distributed systems, RESTful APIs, and cloud-native applications using Go, Node.js, React, and Docker. I'm passionate about backend architecture, authentication systems, and deploying applications that don't fall over under load.

What drives me:

• High-performance backend services
• Clean API design & REST principles
• Secure authentication (JWT, OAuth2)
• Event-driven architectures
• Containerization & cloud deployment
• Building systems that solve real problems
