About Me

Software and developer platforms.

I’m a senior software engineer based in Chennai with 9+ years of industry experience in full-stack development, developer platforms, and automation.

At Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I modernized Backstage and improved how developers request and use GitHub Copilot. At ZF, I led delivery of Immer.AI’s document processing and automation tools. At Infonovum, I worked directly with clients to clarify requirements and deliver business applications.

I’m also interested in Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) roles where I can work with users to understand their workflows and carry solutions through delivery.
