· MANIFESTO SO… WHY WILL YOU HIRE ME?

What pulled me in.

I was drawn to systems where software meets reality — from embedded devices to enterprise platforms. I build for reliability, scale, and the people who depend on the product when it matters.

The hand will shake. The heart will not. Go anyway.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

— Marianne Williamson
· ABOUT A.26 · 生きてる

I AM STILL ALIVE.

Software Development Engineer - I. Based in Mumbai, India. Building enterprise applications, backend systems, and products that hold up under real-world load.

From IoT firmware to mission-critical software, I work where performance, concurrency, reliability, and clear system boundaries matter every day.

· · BY THE NUMBERS TALLIED SO FAR

By the numbers

  • 2 Experience Chapters From embedded systems to enterprise software.
  • 10+ Engineering Artifacts AI, cloud, IoT, DevOps, web and infrastructure.
  • 15+ Technologies Explored Every problem demanded a different tool.
  • Systems Curiosity Still looking under every abstraction.

Kitsune — how I work, mapped through nine tails

智 Chi · Intelligence

Read the unwritten.

Intent first, markup second. I listen for the silence — every pattern, every tell.

AI Systems · Microservices · DevOps · Cloud. RAG · Knowledge Graphs · Enterprise Platforms. Built for Scale. Engineered for Reliability.

九 Kyū · Nine Tails

Nine tails, one hand.

霊 Rei · Fox-fire

Light the corridor.

Debugging isn't guessing. I walk the stack with a flame until the bug has nowhere left.

Spec to production. Product intent to reliable systems — without dropping the thread.

CHAPTER · ONE

L&T Defence Sep 2025 – Present · Powai, Mumbai

Software Development Engineer - I

WHERE SYSTEMS LEARNED TO SCALE.

Enterprise applications.
Mission-critical software.
Deadlines measured in deployments.
Failures measured in consequences.

Performance, concurrency and reliability stopped being optimizations.
They became requirements.

The focus shifted from making things work
to making them work at scale.

CHAPTER · TWO

Yantravyuh LLP Jun 2024 – Dec 2024 · Thane

IoT Developer Intern

WHERE HARDWARE LEARNED TO SPEAK.

Sensors, relays and tiny controllers.
Lines of Embedded C.
Signals crossing wires.

This was where software first escaped the screen.

Every device became a lesson in systems thinking.
Every failure became a lesson in debugging.

The foundation was built here.

Hitomi — inspirations that pass through the eye

· HITOMI · INSPIRATIONS · FOUR REFLECTIONS
Close-up of an eye, reflecting website interfaces drifting across the iris.
映 Utsu · Reflect

Everything passes through.

Every system I've opened, every trace I've followed — the pattern doesn't forget.

Docs · source · production logs. APIs · queues · database plans. Studying how good systems hold.

観 Kan · Observe

Watch the masters.

蔵 Kura · Archive

A library behind the eyes.

Failure modes I've mapped. Interfaces I've simplified. Quiet details, archived.

Everything I've seen comes back as my work — reflected, rebuilt, released.

創 Sō · Forge

Then I forge mine.

So now is the time

Are you ready to build something great together?
