About

I build production software end-to-end โ€” from the data model to the pixel on screen โ€” with a bias toward getting the architecture right before touching the UI. Most of that work runs in places I'll never visit: an EdTech platform now serving 10,000+ concurrent students, where I care less about clever code and more about a system staying correct under load. I'm still the kind of engineer who opens a project's source just to see how it's put together.

Senior Software Engineer

State-Scale EdTech Mobile App (10k+ concurrent users ยท 1L+ downloads)

React Native ONNX Runtime RNNoise/WASM Bhashni API

Built an offline-first voice assessment app for government schools โ€” works with zero internet connectivity using on-device speech recognition. Deployed across multiple states in English and Marathi, reaching 10,000+ concurrent students and 100,000+ downloads.

Replaced cloud-based ASR with a fully offline on-device pipeline (ONNX Runtime), cutting latency by 50% and removing the network dependency entirely for rural classrooms. Added RNNoise/WASM noise suppression and a progressive English/Marathi assessment engine on the Bhashni API, plus automated QC โ€” bias-detection analytics and a 10% random re-assessment sampler to catch grading drift.

Multi-Tenant Retail SaaS Platform (500+ concurrent users ยท 1,000+ SKUs)

MERN Stack MongoDB JWT UPI Integration

Built a subdomain-based multi-tenant POS and online store platform serving 500+ concurrent users across 1,000+ SKUs. Cut stock inconsistencies by 85%, and added UPI QR payments with barcode scanning and receipt printing for in-store checkout.

Per-tenant data isolation enforced via JWT-scoped auth middleware across subdomains, with automated billing workflows. Replaced read-then-write stock updates with MongoDB atomic findOneAndUpdate operations, eliminating race conditions and cutting stock inconsistencies by 85% during peak billing. Built a zero-MDR payment flow with dynamic UPI QR generation and backend validation, plus hardware barcode scanning and silent thermal-printer integration for merchant checkout.

Engineering Excellence & Leadership

GitHub Actions Jest Code Review Mentorship

Set up the team's CI/CD pipeline and code review standards. Mentored new engineers on React and React Native, including scoping a junior engineer's first project โ€” an internal tool that replaced a manual HR Excel workflow, recognized by management.

Established CI/CD (GitHub Actions + Jest) automating build-test-deploy and enforcing Clean Architecture through regular code review, reducing production bugs. Mentored a junior engineer end-to-end by scoping their training around a real internal problem โ€” they shipped a React Native + web IT asset inventory app that replaced manual HR Excel tracking. Also onboarded new joiners on React/React Native conventions and drove cross-functional collaboration with design and product.

Projects

My Playlist app showing a track list and now-playing panel

My Playlist ↗

Vanilla Web Audio API

An interactive web project demonstrating core DOM manipulation and audio state management.

Vanilla JS playlist player built without a framework โ€” manual DOM updates for the track list, a single source-of-truth state object driving playback UI, and the native Audio API for buffering and seek instead of a library.

POS & Inventory admin dashboard showing revenue, stock levels, and sales charts

POS & Inventory Management ↗

MERN Stack JWT Auth

Full-stack point-of-sale and inventory system with role-based admin/customer dashboards, product image uploads, PDF receipts, and live sales analytics.

MERN stack POS with JWT-based role access control (admin/customer), image uploads to S3, server-side PDF generation for receipts, and MongoDB aggregation pipelines powering the live sales dashboard.
