About me

I'm a Software Engineer at Dell Technologies, focused on backend systems, automation, and distributed infrastructure. My work spans CI/CD pipeline engineering, Kubernetes-native platforms, and REST API development — building tools that make engineering teams faster and systems more reliable.

"Build for reliability. Automate for scale."

I hold an MS in Computer Science from NYU Tandon and a BTech from VIT. I'm a certified Scrum Master and Product Owner, a published researcher across NLP, algorithms, and IoT-ML, and a 2025 Dell ISG Hackathon honourable mention.
