Hey, I'm Shashi —
Systems engineer. I make things fast,
correct, and boring — in that order.
Founding engineer at a fintech. Eight years building backend systems, data platforms, and the occasional opinion. I write when something took too long to figure out and probably shouldn't have.
Currently
Senior SDE at Setu (PineLabs), Bangalore — founding engineer on a Bank Statement Analysis platform that powers underwriting and income verification for financial institutions.
What I care about
- Systems that stay fast when everything else breaks around them
- ML that actually ships — pipelines, annotation, serving, the full thing
- Engineering culture where writing things down is a first-class activity
- Asking why before estimating, even when it's uncomfortable
- The intersection where "how do we build this" meets "why does this matter"
