Software Developer·Fintech/SaaS

Finance and technology are converging to reshape the global economy. At that intersection, every line of code is an opportunity to make financial access faster, smarter, and more human.

About Me

Background, focus areas, and what I care about in software and finance.

From ledgers to lines of code, my journey has been one of reinvention, curiosity, and continuous learning.

I started in taxation and accounting, built a strong understanding of financial systems, and eventually moved into software development to solve those kinds of problems with code. I also worked on Taxaltus, an educational initiative focused on making tax terminology clearer for everyday users.

2012 to 2020

Taxation Foundation

I spent eight years in taxation and accounting, working across Income Tax, GST, TDS compliance, assessments, and appellate proceedings. That phase trained me to think with precision, accountability, and respect for financial systems.

Finance to software

Transition to Technology

While working with regulatory workflows, I became increasingly curious about how software could simplify complex processes. That curiosity led me from financial operations into programming, backend systems, and cloud-native development.

What I build now

Software and Fintech

Today I build scalable backend systems and digital platforms using Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and cloud-native architectures. My finance background helps me design systems for compliance-heavy, rule-driven, and data-sensitive domains.

Looking back, the journey from taxation to technology was not a departure, it was an evolution. The same curiosity that once drove me to understand financial systems now drives me to build technology that makes complex processes simpler, smarter, and more accessible.
