“Life comes from you,
not at you.”
Hey, I’m Sid.
I build reliable distributed backend systems that scale.
I’m a software engineer at Intuit focused on building and scaling distributed backend systems. You will also find me geeking out on research papers/publishing papers on some interesting stuff I stumble upon. I contribute to open source when I can. Outside of work: I bike, travel and play the guitar sometimes :)
