About
I'm a Software Engineer II at Meesho, where I build and own high-throughput, low-latency backend systems powering ads and product recommendations at scale.
I graduated from IIT (BHU) Varanasi in 2022. Outside of work, I enjoy competitive programming & problem solving. I'm rated 1879 on LeetCode and hold Expert status on Codeforces.
