I build AI products in health, after 7 years of shipping, from Qualcomm and Microsoft-scale systems to startups of my own.

At Microsoft I designed more efficient logical pause and resume paths for Azure SQL Serverless, infrastructure powering on the order of ~3.5 million serverless databases, improving login latency and reducing control-plane COGS (SIGMOD '24 co-author). I'm now solo-building Folia, a research-backed PCOS companion in private beta, and WhatIEatInADay, an AI meal tracker I use every day.

Featured Work

Live products and systems I've built end-to-end, from a health AI beta to infrastructure running across Azure regions.

Live in private beta · Solo founder

Folia

Research-backed AI companion for PCOS — product, backend, and research pipeline, end to end.

Voice and text check-ins → structured daily diary across meals, mood, symptoms, and movement
Governed RAG: 35 hand-curated papers, pgvector in Postgres, every answer cited — refuses to guess outside the corpus
First user interviews are reshaping the roadmap — benchmark the biomarkers driving your PCOS, build daily habits, retest to see the numbers move

Shipped · In daily use

WhatIEatInADay

AI meal tracker — and the proving ground for Folia's check-in loop.

Log by photo, voice, text, or saved entries; AI tracks macros and writes descriptions
Daily analysis vs. your goals + one concrete tip for tomorrow
Wireframes → working app; open source on GitHub

Diagram: logical pause/resume redesign — database engine drives pause/resume state, control plane off the login hot path

2020–2025 · Software Engineer → Senior

Microsoft / Azure SQL

Five years on Azure SQL — Hyperscale, then Serverless — owning features from design to on-call.

Redesigned logical pause/resume so the database engine owns its state — ~3.5M databases, 60% workflow-latency cut across 60+ regions
Shipped Azure SQL Free offer and SQL in Microsoft Fabric end-to-end
Fastest promotion to Senior on my team; tech lead for 6 engineers; SIGMOD '24 team paper

Highlights

The stories that don't fit the cards above.

Netflix playback fix at Qualcomm, one-line platform change after tracing a green-screen bug across the secure playback stack; ~2% of affected users worldwide
Published cryptography research, ICDCN 2019 paper and a masters thesis on perfectly secure message transmission at IIIT Hyderabad
First startup straight out of college, Fashion Galli: 700+ garment catalogue, ~70 rentals end-to-end, my bedroom as the warehouse
Bluetooth classroom chat, classmates messaged over Bluetooth within classroom range; no data plan needed
ICPC Asia top 50, competing solo, registered without a real team, cleared regionals during semester exams, finished top 50 across South Asia
Built a compiler that skipped the final, one-month LLVM project with a partner; professor waived the exam when lexer, parser, and codegen all worked

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to join an early-stage team as a founding or early engineer, owning product surface area end-to-end, close to users. My sweet spot is AI-native products in health, biology, and human wellbeing: messy domains, high trust requirements, real-world complexity.

I'm also building Folia independently. I'm open to joining a team, cofounding, or both, if the problem and people are right.

Building something ambitious? I'd love to hear about it, I reply within a day.
