About Me

I currently work at KoinX where I've been part of the 0-1 journey handling everything thrown at me from frontend to backend, managing teams, leading product development, communicating cross-teams etc.  I have been a consistent and enthusiastic engineer for more than 4 years now and have shown a problem-solving attitude towards everything I've worked on across the companies I've worked at (Swiggy, FamPay, Trell). I am an engineer who can architect infrastructures and take complete ownership of making products/features live from scratch for end users.
