Backend Developer, Docker Captain & Open Source Contributor

About Me

I’m a software engineer with a strong focus on backend development and cloud infrastructure. I did my MSc in Computer Science from Pune University (PUCSD), where I built a solid foundation in core CS concepts. These days, I work mostly with Go and Kubernetes building scalable, cloud-native systems and tools that make developers lives easier.
I’m active in the open-source space and enjoy contributing to meaningful projects. I'm also recognized as a Docker Captain for my work in the Docker community.
