About

CRED leverages my expertise in backend development and regulatory onboarding solutions as a Software Engineer II. Recent contributions include leading the end-to-end onboarding flow for the CRED Money app, optimizing regulatory modules like KRA and e-sign, and implementing configurable orchestration logic to streamline engineering processes and accelerate go-to-market timelines. My work on dynamic onboarding components and PPI audit readiness has ensured compliance and improved customer experiences. Graduated in 2023 with a BTech in Computer Science from IIIT Lucknow, I bring a focused approach to modular KYC, vendor-agnostic integrations, and scalable solutions. Recognized for driving compliant onboarding for over 1M users and improving funnel conversion rates, I thrive on developing innovative, regulatory-compliant systems. Proficient in tools like AWS Step Functions, Kafka, and Amazon Web Services, I aim to empower organizations through collaboration and impactful backend engineering.
