His background spans backend systems, full‑stack work, and data forecasting—having built ARIMA/regression models for PayPal Wallet deposits and automated financial-analysis tooling at Finpeg. A BITS Pilani undergraduate, he combines systems-level engineering with practical data skills and a habit of publishing technical write-ups and projects on GitHub and Medium. Notably, his open-source Maven plugin work introduced local compatibility testing, folder support, and JSON validation error reporting for schema generation across Avro/JSON/Protobuf formats.
