This page is a short journey from night to morning. Scroll, and stop wherever something looks interesting.

By day, I build backends.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Salescode.ai in Gurugram. I design reactive Java services, and I mentor two other engineers.

  • Reactive Java servicesSpring Boot and WebFlux, non-blocking from the API down to PostgreSQL.
  • Event-driven pipelinesKafka and Apache Flink moving data between systems.
  • Fast on purposeA two-tier Redis and EhCache cache, plus indexing, cut API response time by 60%.

I play badminton.

It's the sport I come back to.

A shuttle slows down so sharply that even a hard hit falls almost straight down. Its feathers make that much drag.

Reading.

I love reading. Give me a good book and a quiet hour and I'm happy. I'm curious by nature, and books are where I go to find out how things really work, one idea at a time.

Reading right now:

Music is always on.

I love music. It plays through most of my days, working or not.

    Move your cursor through the sound. Click to send out a pulse.

    Chasing what's new in AI.

    I explore AI the way some people explore cities. A new model lands, and I go and walk around it to see what it can really do.
