At Synapse, my current role as a Staff Software Engineer involves spearheading transaction origination and processing initiatives with partner banks. With over five years of experience in financial technology, my expertise in end-to-end system development and Agile methodologies has been instrumental in delivering robust web applications and services.

My previous tenure at Navan enabled me to build an exhaustive expense management system, leveraging Liquid cards for seamless user transactions. The competencies developed through these projects—particularly building scalable and resilient backend applications from scratch —underscore my commitment to pioneering innovative solutions in various domains.
