Software engineer turned MBA, building toward data engineering and applied AI.
Currently at the Indian School of Business (PGP YL, MBA Class of 2027). Before business school, I spent two years shipping production systems across the Indian fintech stack as a founding-team engineer at Saathi Money and on the Open Banking API platform at Standard Chartered.
Exploring data engineering and applied AI as the focus areas for what I build next.

- Standard Chartered (Jul 2023 – May 2024) — Software Developer on the Open Banking API Gateway
- PwC India (Apr 2026 – Jun 2026) — Digital Strategy Consulting intern, AI strategy for enterprise clients
- Neosurge (Aug 2022 – Jan 2023) — Software Developer intern, built the Neobank MVP

- StackGuardian (Nov 2021 – Apr 2022) — Software Developer intern, cloud orchestration platform
GenAI travel-planning chatbot at Saathi Built inside Xplor. Designed the conversational frontend, integrated OpenAI GPT-4 APIs for travel goal generation, and built Lambda CRUD APIs that captured structured travel demand signals into PostgreSQL for downstream analysis.
In-house UPI payment system at Saathi Replaced a third-party gateway. Built the frontend payment interface integrated with the banking partner's UPI intent flow. Eliminated ~99% of transaction fees.
API health-check service at Standard Chartered Automatically redirected traffic away from failing clusters in the Open Banking API Gateway. Reduced failed-request incidents by 45%.
Forex trade approvals platform at Standard Chartered Led a 5-member team at the internal bootcamp. Automated forex verification and approval workflows. Finished Rank 2 of 50+ teams.
Admin portal at Saathi Gave the customer support team direct CRUD access across 750+ products, 30+ merchants, and 500+ users, removing engineers from routine operational changes.
