About

Pragmatic builder,
impact-driven engineer.

I'm a Software Engineer at Microsoft, working on Excel Online — one of the most widely used productivity products on the planet, serving 8 billion sessions every month.

My work spans platform reliability, product user experience, developer productivity, and applied AI.

I graduated from IIIT Delhi with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Design — a foundation that lets me move comfortably across frontend, backend, and systems engineering.
