I build things that actually ship.

Full Stack Software Engineer at ICICI Lombard General Insurance, where I build customer-facing insurance products — a conversational AI purchase journey, a healthcare marketplace, and Next.js / Angular purchase flows — from the frontend through to API integration.

I work mostly on the frontend and full-stack product layer: Next.js, React, Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, Zustand and TanStack Query, backed by REST APIs in FastAPI and .NET. I care about performance, resilient streaming and real-time UIs, clean API contracts, and systems that hold up in production.
