04About

A bit about me

Based in
India
Currently
Software Development Engineer @ CRED
Education
B.Tech Computer Science, Bennett University

I'm a Flutter developer with 5+ years of experience building polished, high-performance cross-platform apps. I'm currently a Software Development Engineer at CRED, working on member-facing experiences across Credit Cards, Flights, Hotels and Insurance for an app used by 50M+ people.

Earlier I was a founding engineer at Slick, where I built the app from scratch to 1M+ downloads. Along the way I have shipped payments, real-time chat, maps and notifications, and published open-source Flutter packages that other developers rely on.

Lately I'm especially excited about AI-assisted engineering: at CRED I built an AI-powered PR-review agent and Claude-assisted migration tooling.
