Who I Am

I'm a Software Engineer at Mercedes-Benz R&D India — I build the backends that keep 2M+ vehicles talking to the cloud. Working on Data Collection Management and Unified Data Receiver systems, I design event-driven services that collect, normalize, and deliver vehicle data at scale — real-time streams, Kafka pipelines, and concurrency-safe locking.

I graduated from IIT Bombay in 2024 with a B.Tech in Civil Engineering, but found my calling in software. I was fast-tracked from GET to SDE in just 6 months and have since owned multiple features end-to-end, achieving 10X higher data capture efficiency and 90% code coverage through BDD.

Outside work, I've built AI-powered code review agents, self-driving car subsystems, and contractor collaboration platforms. I've solved 750+ DSA problems and I'm always looking for the next interesting challenge.
