About Me

I'm a results-driven engineer with over 5 years of experience spanning mobile development, backend engineering, and now automation systems. Currently working as a Software Automation Engineer at Onafriq, I design scalable automation tools that drive operational efficiency and reduce manual intervention across systems. My recent work includes building an in-house AutoRecon tool that automated transaction reconciliation for finance teams — cutting down hours of manual effort, improving accuracy, and helping reduce infrastructure costs by over 70%. I've also worked on automating data pipelines, server-to-server data transfer, and building centralized data access tools using Java, Selenium, Spark, AWS, and more. Previously, I contributed to mobile-first product development across healthtech, logistics, and enterprise domains using Flutter, Kotlin, and Firebase. Through these roles, I developed a strong foundation in user-centric development, scalable architecture, and API integration. Now, as an MBA candidate at IIM Kozhikode, I'm aligning my technical background with business and product strategy — aiming to transition into Product Management, where I can drive end-to-end solutions that create real impact for users and organizations alike.
