Hey, I'm Ishaan 👋 I'm a Software Engineer at Oracle Financial Services — but my day-to-day sits right at the intersection of deep engineering and client-facing consulting, which is a rare place to be this early in a career. By title I'm an Associate Consultant. By practice, I'm writing Java microservices, integrating GenAI agents into live banking systems, and flying onsite to the UK to implement Trade Finance solutions for enterprise banks. I don't just build the product — I sit across the table from the client and make sure it actually works in their world. My background is in Computer Science from NIT Hamirpur, and I've since layered on Software Product Management (University of Alberta) and Social Computing (Johns Hopkins) — so I think about technology from the user, the system, and the business side simultaneously. If you're someone navigating a similar path — technically strong but drawn toward the consulting or product side — I know how that tension feels and how to make it work for you, not against you.
