I'm a polyglot engineer who builds data platforms and distributed systems that run in production at scale. I work end-to-end across platform architecture, big-data pipelines, and site reliability β from first design to systems serving millions.
- π Currently building open network infrastructure at Beckn and leading Obsrv, a real-time data-pipeline product.
- π± Deep in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native tooling.
- π¬ Ask me about Kafka pipelines, Flink/Druid/Hudi, platform design, or scaling Java/Scala services.
- π Long-time open-source contributor across education, agri-tech, and analytics.
| Project | What I do |
|---|---|
| Beckn | Building catalog/discovery infrastructure for open commerce networks |
| Obsrv | Led development of a real-time data-pipeline & observability platform |
| Sunbird | Analytics framework powering India's digital learning platform (millions of learners) |
| Agri-Tech | Built data tools helping farmers adopt sustainable farming practices |
Languages and tools are just leverage β the real work is choosing the right framework, stack, or language for the system, the problem, and who we're solving it for. The stacks below are just examples of what I've used β the right tool is always chosen per design and need.
- Scale-first design β architect for the load that's coming, not just today's.
- Reliability as a feature β SLOs, observability, and graceful failure built in from the start.
- Pragmatic polyglot β pick the right language and tool for the problem, not the habit.
- Open by default β build in the open, contribute upstream, share what I learn.
Let's build impactful, reliable systems together.
