About
I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Darwinbox, where I work on building large-scale HR technology that serves millions of users worldwide. With over a decade of experience across backend systems, distributed services and developer platforms, I focus on engineering things that are simple, robust and a pleasure to use.
Outside the day job, I'm an active LLM developer — building local-first tools, fine-tuning open models, and exploring how language models can be embedded directly into real product workflows. Covalid is one of those experiments: a tiny, dependency-free chat UI for talking to a locally-served model.
I enjoy clean architecture, careful APIs, and writing code that doesn't need a manual to understand. When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually reading, tinkering with hardware, or chasing a good cup of coffee.
