About
A bit about me
I'm a Software Engineer based in Tokyo, Japan, currently working at Money Forward, Inc. — one of Japan's leading fintech companies. I build and maintain scalable backend systems that power financial services for millions of users.
My day-to-day involves working with Go and Java for building robust microservices, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Terraform for infrastructure as code. I'm passionate about building systems that are reliable, performant, and easy to maintain.
I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM), Dhanbad with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, and making the most of life in Tokyo.
