The story
Who I Am
I’m originally from Kozhikode, Kerala, and now live and work in Dubai. I started my software career building web applications in India, then moved into larger business systems in the UAE.
I enjoy understanding how something works, finding what can be improved, and building the pieces that make daily work simpler. That curiosity carries through from a database query to the experience someone sees on screen.
That instinct to explore and improve carries into everything from software and machines to training and travel.
I build enterprise applications and business platforms across frontend, backend, databases, APIs, workflows, automation, integrations, dashboards, and real-time systems. At NAFFCO, that means software used across multiple business functions.
I work on enterprise applications, ERP and business systems, workflow platforms, dashboards, APIs, automation, and database-heavy products. The work often involves real-time functionality and connecting existing systems.

The craft
What I Do
The approach
How I Work
Understand First
I begin with the users, the process, and the operational problem. The technical shape becomes clearer when the workflow is understood.
Build End-to-End
Database, backend, API, frontend, integration, and deployment are connected decisions. I like working across the whole path.
Keep Improving
I prefer pragmatic solutions that teams can maintain, extend, and refine rather than complexity for its own sake.
Away from the desk
Beyond the Code
There’s a lot more to me than software.
Travel / Motorcycles
The road is my favourite reset.
Long rides and road trips give me a different kind of focus: new routes, unfamiliar places, and time to enjoy the journey itself.
