01 Introduction

I grew up in Kodavasal, a small village in Thiruvarur, and somewhere along the way got completely hooked on tech. Wrote my first lines of code in grade 8 — a school program run with Bharathidasan University — and never really stopped. Back then I genuinely dreamt of working at Google someday. Still do, honestly.

Everything after that was self-taught and curiosity-led. I think in visuals, figure things out as I go instead of planning every step, and get pulled toward hard problems that don't have clean answers. I'm quiet until I actually know you — then I don't really shut up. Night owl, team player, dedicated to a fault.

These days I'm a Software Developer at Skcript, building things that quietly run in production. The work I love most is where I can look at the code and visually trace the whole flow of execution — clean, simple, where you can see exactly how it's all wired. My mentor here, Varun, never just hands me the answer; he asks questions back until I find it myself. That changed how I think.

Outside work: badminton (need to get back to it), A.R. Rahman and a lot of chill music, the occasional Lego set, math, and slowly getting into reading. If any of this resonates, let's talk.

02 Work Experience

SkcriptApr 2025 – Present
Software Developer

Built Skcript's email and notification service from scratch — pulled it out of a legacy Ruby system so every product routes through one place.

It's handled 500K+ jobs in six months with zero failed deliveries. Redis queues, Postgres transactions, and a 3-try retry path keep it honest.

Added pixel-based open tracking and URL shortening, so the dashboards show who opened and clicked in near real time.

The pipeline behind it logs every step of an email's lifecycle, so nothing disappears silently under load.

Shipped FeatureOS Mobile end to end with React Native + Expo — changelogs, roadmap boards, voting, and a searchable knowledge base in one app.

Wired in Apple Sign-In, Sentry, and React Query for typed APIs and caching across iOS and Android.
