// about

I'm a Python engineer working part-time as a Founding Engineer at LatSpace (Bengaluru-based, remote), where I build backend services for an AI-native ESG compliance product — FastAPI, async Python, MongoDB, and LangGraph-based agent systems with structured LLM outputs.

I split my time between async backends, multi-provider LLM gateways, and Next.js frontends. I care about typed code, test coverage, and shipping things that don't wake you up at night.

Currently full-time at Cognizant in Chennai doing SAP data validation, originally from Mangalore, and before that a research intern at NIT Karnataka working on video captioning. BE in AI/ML from NMAM Institute of Technology.
