About

I'm a software engineer based in Vancouver, currently working on Alexa at Amazon.

I grew up in Delhi and moved to the US to pursue my Master's in Computer Science at UT Dallas. Somewhere along the way, my focus shifted from just writing code to understanding how systems behave when they're actually used at scale.

Most of my work today sits in backend systems and distributed infrastructure—across streaming platforms, identity systems, and consumer-facing products. I'm drawn to problems where things don't just "work," but need to keep working under load, failure, and real-world constraints.

I care about building systems that are predictable, resilient, and designed with intention—not just patched until they hold.

Outside of work, I spend time gaming, taking photos, and following cars and motorcycles that I'll probably never own—but can't stop learning about.
