Staff Software Engineer · Discovery & Personalisation · JioHotstar
Frontend platforms at the scale of live sport.
I work on consumer streaming at global scale — server-driven UI (Next.js & Go), discovery across web and living-room devices, and performance when millions show up at once. Based in Bangalore, India 🇮🇳 ; open to interesting roles and collaborations worldwide.
What I work on
Shipping calm UIs when traffic is anything but calm.
- Server-driven experiences — I helped architect Hotstar X, decoupling product iteration from release cycles; live in 25+ countries.
- Discovery & personalisation — web, mobile, and living-room (Xbox, PlayStation, Samsung TV, LG) with shared patterns and brutal attention to latency.
- Design systems & reliability — reusable UI across six surfaces, plus caching and load-shedding where scale meets cost.
I mentor engineers and partner across product and backend — not selling a leadership manifesto, just clear ownership and craft.
