About
Distributed Systems Engineer at Cloudflare · London
I’m a software engineer based in London, working on distributed systems at Cloudflare. I spend most of my time on caching, data formats and the latency of requests that cross the globe.
Before Cloudflare I spent two and a half years at JPMorgan Chase building security-critical services for Chase UK — from a device manager that lets customers remotely lock the app to a zero-trust authentication service handling thousands of requests per second. Earlier, at Zomato, I built recommendation systems and broke a monolith into Go microservices serving 30M+ monthly users, and I started my career as a full-stack engineer at MakeMyTrip.
I studied Computer Science at IIIT-Delhi. Outside work I like writing about what I learn — you’ll find those notes on this site.
