About Me

I'm a Backend Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience. Currently working at Simpel AI, Lucknow, building backend systems with Laravel/PHP.

My journey started with Laravel and PHP, but I've been actively expanding into the Node.js ecosystem. I'm passionate about building scalable, reliable backend systems and developer tooling that makes engineers' lives easier.

Currently, I'm diving deep into "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" (DDIA), sharpening my competitive programming skills on LeetCode, and shipping side projects in public. I believe in learning by building and sharing knowledge along the way.
