I’ve spent over 8 years at Apple, starting with 3 years on the Ad Platforms team, where I worked on scalable web applications powering Apple’s advertising solutions. I then spent 5 years with the Apple Media Products (AMP) team, leading frontend development for music.apple.com, focusing on performance, accessibility, and delightful user experiences. Most recently, I’ve transitioned to the Apple Data & ML Platform team, where I'm contributing to internal tools and intelligent interfaces that empower data scientists and engineers across the company.

At Flipkart, I worked as a Senior UI Engineer, building high-performance, user-centric interfaces for one of India’s largest e-commerce platforms. I led initiatives to improve page load times, enhance mobile web experiences, and implement scalable design systems across the frontend stack.

At Genpact Headstrong, I began my career as a software engineer, working with global investment banking clients. I contributed to the development of enterprise-grade financial applications, gaining strong fundamentals in full-stack development, system design, and agile delivery in a high-stakes environment.
