// 03 — About

The person
behind the code.

I'm a backend engineer based in Kochi, Kerala with a passion for building reliable, scalable systems. I've gone from implementing banking solutions at Oracle to owning the entire backend of a food-tech startup as the sole engineer.



I care deeply about code quality — practicing TDD, writing meaningful tests, and designing systems that are easy to reason about. I also contribute to open source through Ruby for Good, building community-focused applications in Ruby and Rails.
