Hi, I'm Naveen Kewalramani

|

I thrive where complexity meets scale. With a career spanning 7+ years in backend engineering, I’ve spent the bulk of my time in the high-stakes world of Fintech. I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to build a bank from the floorboards up, and I’m now applying those lessons to build the investment infrastructure of the future for Europe’s top-tier financial institutions.
I believe in using the right tool for the job, which has led me to become proficient in Golang, Python, and Ruby, always backed by a robust cloud-native philosophy.
Outside of my core architecture work, I’m a tinkerer at heart. Currently, I’m diving deep into ML and AI, looking for innovative ways to integrate predictive modeling into backend systems to make them even smarter and more efficient.
