About

I am a software engineer at Wells Fargo in Bangalore, on the infrastructure and observability team. Most of my work is about making large systems legible to the people who operate them: an AI agent embedded in Grafana that answers questions about live metrics, an MCP server over the Prometheus and Grafana stack, and a self-service logging portal that took our annual support tickets from over 4000 down to under 60.

Alongside that I co-founded Lexify AI, a legal AI platform for Indian law firms. I ran it end to end: product, architecture, the code itself, and go to market. We ingested 1.7 crore High Court and Supreme Court judgments for grounded retrieval, fine-tuned a legal model, and onboarded our first paying clients.

I graduated from NIT Karnataka in 2025 with a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in Computer Science. Almost everything I know about software I learned outside that degree: chairing GDG on campus, leading the UniDAO chapter with Devfolio, running the web team at NITKRacing, and spending most weekends at hackathons.

Sixteen of those hackathons are on the front page. They are where I have done my most honest work: a comic generator, a decentralised annotation market, an IPO price model, a treasure hunt on-chain, and most recently a 3D city you walk through while learning to speak the language. I like short deadlines and strangers who become teammates by hour six.
