I've spent 16 years building software from scratch — most recently as Senior Principal Engineer at a fast-growing food-tech company, where I built order management, catalogue, and real-time inventory systems used across hundreds of outlets. Before that: Indiabulls, Intellect Design Arena, Oracle, and Accenture. I've been the person handed something undefined and trusted to own it end-to-end — from system design to production. I write back thoughtfully and take reviews seriously; ask me about backend architecture, microservices, career moves in engineering, or how to read as senior in interviews and resumes.
