Gandhinagar

I am a Backend Developer at Validus, a leading Fintech platform in Singapore, where I specialize in building robust, scalable, and secure backend systems. My day-to-day responsibilities include designing APIs, enhancing application performance, and ensuring seamless integration with complex financial ecosystems. I thrive on solving intricate technical challenges and delivering reliable solutions that drive business value.

Currently, I am also pursuing a Master’s in Financial Technology at the University of Wollongong (UOW), Gift City Campus, India. This program allows me to dive deep into the intersection of technology and finance, exploring areas like blockchain, digital payments, AI in finance, and financial modeling. It’s a perfect complement to my professional experience, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the financial domain and its evolving technological landscape.

Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in backend technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, and RESTful services. My experience also extends to working with databases, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices, ensuring that the solutions I create are both efficient and future-proof.

I’m passionate about innovation and continuously strive to expand my skill set. Staying updated with industry trends is a priority for me, whether it’s by exploring emerging technologies or participating in discussions within the tech community. Outside of work and academics, I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and experimenting with new tools to refine my craft.

With a vision to create impactful and transformative solutions in the fintech space, I am committed to leveraging my technical expertise and financial knowledge to shape the future of financial services.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
