Who Am I

I studied Mechanical Engineering at IIT Jodhpur — not the most obvious path to backend engineering. But thinking about stress loads, failure points, and system efficiency turned out to be exactly the right training. I just swapped metal for microservices.

Today I design and scale backend systems at CARS24 — payment orchestration, distributed services, the kind of infrastructure that needs to hold at 2am on a Friday. I care about reliability, long-term architecture, and systems that don't need to be rewritten six months later.

Outside work I read a lot, follow cricket more than I should, and occasionally disappear into the mountains. I'm building this site to document both sides — the technical journey and everything else.
