About
A short story.
I grew up curious about how software stays fast under real-world weight. That curiosity carried me from a CS degree in Chennai, through two years of full-stack work at Rrootshell Technologies, to a Master's at UMBC where I focus on systems, ML, and production engineering.
Along the way I shipped a marketing platform serving 10,000+ monthly users, took its Lighthouse score from 72 to 90+, hardened production code against the usual injection and CORS pitfalls, and helped non-technical teammates trust the dashboards we built for them. Today I'm most excited about the seam between classical web engineering and the new wave of AI-integrated products — clean APIs, predictable latency, and interfaces that quietly do the right thing.
