Hi, I'm Aryan! I build products and systems that scale, from full-stack marketplaces to distributed backend platforms.

At HustlHub, I launched a business management platform for college students, managing product development, growth strategy, and operations. At Paystand, I engineered backend and authentication infrastructure with SSO, RBAC, and multi-entity payout automation for a next-gen software suite. My research experience includes optimizing distributed query processing and performance profiling of high-throughput systems.

I'm skilled in AWS, GCP, full-stack development, and distributed systems, and I thrive at the intersection of technical execution and product impact. I’m seeking SWE and PM roles in AI, fintech, or enterprise SaaS where I can continue building scalable, user-facing solutions.
