He is fluent in Golang, Ruby on Rails, and Python and has led teams building payments, identity/KYC, and high-throughput routing services using Kubernetes, Kafka, and Redis. At Branch he drove localization and onboarding changes that cut identity rejection in half and reduced drop-offs, and at Karix and Blinkit he architected scalable, eventually-consistent systems and open-source tooling for low-latency messaging.
