SELECTED WORK

Fifteen years.
Seven rooms.

From a Microsoft consultancy in Hyderabad to platform tech-lead at Equifax in Austin. The tools change. The job, helping good engineers ship the right thing on time, doesn’t.

WHAT I DO

The job, broken into the three
parts that matter.

  • Cross-geo, multi-timezone delivery
02 · BUILDING
  • React 18, Next.js 14 (RSC, Server Actions)
  • Angular 20 (signals, standalone components)
  • TypeScript, Module Federation, micro-frontends
  • Go, Node.js, GraphQL, BFF + edge
  • AWS (Lambda, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB), GCP, Cloudflare
  • Anthropic Claude, MCP, RAG, Vercel AI SDK
03 · THINKING

EDUCATION + CERTIFICATIONS

The paper that
backs the work.

Two degrees, one executive program, three certifications. The Stanford program (2024) is what re-pointed my next decade toward AI-augmented engineering and management.
