About Me

Posted on July 15, 2019  •  One minute  • 207 words

An Air Force brat, born in Rajasthan and brought up across multiple cities in India, I developed an early fascination with computers after first hearing about them at the age of five. That curiosity gradually turned into a career in software engineering.

I am currently a Senior Software Engineer at eBay, where I work on building and maintaining scalable, high-quality systems. My core strengths lie in backend development, system design, and writing clean, maintainable code, with a growing interest in frontend and user-centric engineering. I value structure, clarity, and engineering discipline, and I hold a strong bias toward quality and long-term system health.

I enjoy solving complex problems and often find myself discussing or exploring better solutions through improved data structures, design patterns, and architectural choices. I’m particularly interested in how thoughtful engineering decisions can simplify systems and improve developer and user experience alike.

Beyond software engineering, I have a deep curiosity about human psychology and how thought processes and behavior influence decision-making — an interest that often shapes how I think about users, teams, and systems.

In my free time, I enjoy reading books, keeping up with tech blogs, watching educational content, playing computer games, and staying active through sports like badminton, football, and table tennis.
