Experience and background

What I have built and led over 3+ years, and the tools I use in production.

01 / Profile

Who I am

I am a Sr. Software Engineer at The Special Character in Ahmedabad, where I lead backend work on commerce and AI products. Most of what I do sits on Medusa.js, PostgreSQL, Redis and Python services.

I own architecture and estimation, review code and mentor engineers across several products at once. I like clear service boundaries, releases without downtime, and results I can measure.

Right now I am open to senior backend roles, and to Medusa.js and performance consulting.
