Welcome to my online home. I'd been putting off working on this for a long time but finally set it up over the weekend. Now comes the hard part lol.</p> <p>A bit about me. I'm from Bangalore, India. Born and raised here. Started my career as a software engineer at PhonePe. Was first in the Insurance team, where I helped launch Health, Motor and renewals products. Later moved to the Stockbroking team, where I got to work on and co-own interesting projects like Marketfeed, Charts and the Stream Rule-Matching Engine.</p> <p>Apart from work I'm into fitness, books, travelling and electronic music. I mostly travel solo as my friends are usually busy. I look out for good gigs happening in the city and try to attend them. Big fan of Anjunadeep btw!</p> <p>I'm a curious person. When systems aren't working as expected, I try to dig deep. That habit has led me to some interesting problems, and this website is a way for me to share those stories and learnings. In between, I might sneak in a few personal stories as well.</p> <p>I like writing, so the posts here will be completely written by me, with minor editing assistance from LLMs. I promise you won't be reading any AI-generated bullshit :)</p> <p>So yeah. See you in the next post!</p>
