About Me

Hey there! I'm a software artisan who has spent over a decade building and scaling backend systems. I mostly work with PHP/Laravel and Python, but have exposure to a wide variety of languages and tools. I've led teams and handled large-scale projects that process 200K+ daily scraping requests in production, managing them through queues with hundreds of pods running to serve them.

Currently, I'm serving as Tech Lead at WebOccult Technologies, where I'm building scalable backend systems and leading development teams. I'm passionate about clean architecture, automated testing, and mentoring the next generation of developers.

I'm also an active community member, regularly speaking at Laravel Rajkot and Laravel Ahmedabad meetups about Laravel, CI/CD, and modern development practices. When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing table tennis, experimenting with IoT projects, or enjoying a game of chess.
