Building production services from Vijayawada, India to California.

I'm a backend engineer who cares deeply about system design and production quality. I think about clear APIs, strong testing, observability, and pragmatic performance work across latency, throughput, and reliability.

Started my journey in Vijayawada, India, and now building high-scale services in Los Angeles, CA. I enjoy turning complex distributed problems into clean, maintainable systems.
