  • Integrated DocuSign so customers can sign and submit applications online, and built Kafka + NodeJS notification flows that trigger emails and updates when data changes.
  • Own logging and observability with Datadog and structured logs, which has made debugging faster and production issues easier to reason about.

About Me

Born and raised in North Jersey, I’m a full-stack engineer who likes working across the whole stack—from React/Next.js on the frontend to GraphQL/Node and AWS on the backend.

Right now I’m at Thrivent building financial applications that real people use every day. Before that I worked at Routable, Kasisto, Vitech, and Vidyo, where I spent a lot of time on testing, automation, and CI/CD. I studied Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Rutgers, and I enjoy mentoring, clean code, and quietly shipping useful things.

  • I got married in August 2025 to my beautiful wife. We had a full Indian wedding and it was an incredible, fun few days with friends and family.
  • I love running and hiking. My mile PR from high school is 4:39, and my half marathon PR is 1:28.
  • I’m obsessed with national parks. The favorite place I’ve ever hiked is Banff National Park—absolutely stunning.
  • In my free time I like analyzing public markets, stocks, Bitcoin, and real estate. I’m pretty much a finance junkie.
