I’m a Software Development Engineer at ION Group, working on financial technology products, Java microservices, and AI-powered developer tooling. My work includes developing backend services for a forex trading platform, building custom AI agent harnesses integrated with self-hosted models, and creating automation utilities that improve engineering and operational efficiency. Previously, I interned at BITS Pilani, where I worked on database anomaly detection and insider-threat research, and at OpensourceDB, where I contributed to Python-based data collection and PostgreSQL monitoring tools. I’m particularly interested in backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, AI agents, and building reliable software at scale. I’m excited to learn from the Google Developer community, explore emerging technologies, and connect with engineers building impactful products. Achievements include winning the Smart India Hackathon 2023 and the ION Group Global Induction Hackathon.
