Hi, I'm Yash — I build with craft.

Product Engineer working across video streaming, backend engineering, and the web. To me, software is more art than science — a creative, tedious, deeply rewarding craft.

What I do

Three crafts, one product mindset

Video Streaming

Adaptive bitrate delivery, server-side ad insertion, and the full AWS Elemental media pipeline — from ingest to the edge.

Backend Engineering

APIs and services built for scale with FastAPI and serverless, backed by SQL and NoSQL data stores and observability.

Web Development

Fast, accessible interfaces with React, Next.js, and TypeScript — design-minded and shipped end to end.
