📍 Pune, India
Built RetainIQ, an AI-powered cloud product, and reached the finalist stage of Amazon's global AI innovation competition.
Published a detailed technical deep-dive on the AWS Builder Center.
I'm a Software Engineer at UBS Pune building cloud-native data architecture and post-trade systems on Azure, while simultaneously pursuing a PGDM in Finance from XLRI Jamshedpur.
Outside work, I'm deep in the AI builder ecosystem: automating workflows with n8n, prototyping with LangChain, and shipping products fast with AI IDEs, because the best way to understand a tool is to build something real with it.
