Senior SDE @ Micromart

Micromart

Hello!

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Micromart, where I’ve been working since October 2025. Prior to Micromart, I was at Remitly, building the client-platform layer of the core app serving ~10 million customers globally. Before that, I was at JP Morgan, where I helped productionalize a blockchain-based internal intelligence platform, similar in concept to Etherscan.

Prior to that, I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University with a thesis in Compositional Actions in Videos with Temporal Ordering. Before pursuing Masters, I worked at Zeta, where I helped design and launch a cafeteria-digitization suite adopted by ~700 corporates, handling over 1 million monthly transactions. Earlier, I completed my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering at Delhi Technological University.

I’m passionate about coding, building apps and websites, and solving real-world problems through clean, scalable solutions. I also enjoy writing about technology, and over the past few years, I’ve authored 200+ technical articles for publications like Draft.dev, Tuts+, CircleCI, Twilio, Descope, and Neo4j. Earlier, I volunteered with the Wikimedia Foundation (2016-2019), contributing to the Commons Android app.
