01 — Introduction

I ship and run a product that people pay to use.

Final-year computer science engineering student in Pune. I own the build and release path for uniTAD, a live platform with paying customers, across a FastAPI backend, a Next.js site and a React Native app. Most of what I know came from breaking that system and having to fix it in production.

04 — About

I came into engineering through the machine rather than the framework. A diploma at Zeal Polytechnic, then a repurposed laptop running Linux that I had to keep alive because nobody else could.

Most of my work now is the unglamorous half of a product: migrations that run before the service boots, tests that block a merge, the webhook that has to be right when someone is charged. It rarely demos well. It is the part I care about.

I have no professional years yet. What I have is one production system, the outage I caused in it, and the runbook I wrote afterwards.
