Developer / Tinkerer
I am a software developer and a tinkerer, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Visa Inc, where I spend my days working with containers, databases, computer networking, and backend development.
I graduated from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) with a major in Information Technology. During my time there, I was Systems Lead at IRIS, NITK, a student tech team, where I got to tinker with a lot of the infrastructure that keeps the institute running. Along the way, I interned at Visa Inc, Futurewei Technologies, and Fourth Frontier, learning how the other half runs their systems.
I also volunteered with the Web Enthusiasts’ Club and the Computer Society of IEEE, NITK, where I got to interact with a lot of my friends in tech and beyond.
My interests are broad, including but not limited to containers, databases, networking, and backend systems. I like understanding how things work under the hood, and I keep tinkering because the discovery is the fun part.
When I am not working, I am speedcubing, tinkering with my hobby projects, or on the guitar and piano.
