About

Engineer by craft, product thinker by habit.

I focus on building solutions that are not just technically sound, but truly valuable to the end user.

Who I am

What hooked me on software engineering wasn't the code itself—it was the thrill of building something out of nothing. Every project is a new puzzle where I balance functionality, performance, and simplicity.

Early on, while building a complex task management platform, I learned the hard way that rushing features leads to brittle systems. Refactoring it taught me to prioritize data models and architecture upfront.

My philosophy

I take a highly pragmatic approach to engineering. I advocate for well-structured monoliths over microservices for small teams—introducing complexity only when there's a tangible business need to scale. Ultimately, I solve problems first, and write code second.

Skills

Technical capabilities

Focused on demonstrated proficiency across backend, frontend, cloud, and engineering practices.

Languages

Junior Software Engineer

Ariel Software SolutionsMohali, Punjab

Jun 2025 - Mar 2026

Responsibilities

Built job ticketing, asset tracking, and invoicing workflows for a multi-tenant field-service ERP, along with compliance tracking to keep client operations audit-ready.
Strengthened access control on a B2B vendor marketplace by adding JWT-based authentication and refresh tokens, plus activity logging and custom reporting for auditing.
Took part in code reviews, helped resolve production issues, and worked closely with cross-functional teams to ship features.
Mentored interns through debugging sessions and general technical questions.

Achievements

Cut tenant onboarding time by 80% by implementing runtime database switching and automating provisioning with Entity Framework Core migrations.
Reduced manual accounting effort by 30% by connecting the ERP platform to QuickBooks Online through webhooks and Hangfire for real-time sync.
Rebuilt the authentication flow using JWT access and refresh tokens, so sessions could renew securely without forcing users to log in again.
Moved the React frontend to a feature-based architecture, separating UI, business logic, and data-fetching into reusable components and hooks.

Assistant Web Developer

Protolabz eServicesPhagwara, Punjab

May 2024 - May 2025

Responsibilities

Extended the compressor monitoring system with visit tracking and subscription-based scheduled reports, giving field teams recurring visibility into daily readings and site activity.
Built backend features following SOLID principles, Clean Architecture, and the Repository pattern to keep things maintainable.
Worked closely with the dev team to troubleshoot issues and ship reliable production features.

Achievements

Built real-time downtime alerting using Hangfire and SignalR, giving teams faster visibility into equipment failures.
Lifted auction bidding throughput by 20% by replacing SQL Server Service Broker processing with an in-memory queue, cutting database deadlocks under high concurrency.
Improved frontend performance by 25% through Lighthouse-driven work, including route-level lazy loading, bundle optimization, and fewer unnecessary React re-renders.
