Hi, I’m Swaraj — a Staff Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, optimizing performance, and leading cross-functional engineering teams at top tech companies like Coupang and Flipkart. I'm a proud graduate of IISc Bangalore (MTech in AI) and IIT (BHU) Varanasi (BTech), with a strong foundation in applied machine learning, backend architecture, and technical leadership. Beyond tech, I’m deeply passionate about personal finance and investing. Since 2018, I’ve been investing consistently every single month, building and managing a diversified portfolio. As of May 2025, my portfolio has delivered a 20%+ CAGR — all self-managed. I consider myself your friendly neighbourhood investment analyst who’s here to help you demystify financial fundamentals. Let’s sit down, dissect your portfolio, and discuss the fundamentals behind every investment — the "why" behind your money moves.
