About
Just a not-so-special guy from Kerala, India, currently working as a Software Engineer at PixDynamics.
I've always been deeply curious about Science, Technology, Politics, Aircrafts, Rockets, Martial Arts, and Hip-hop. If any of those spark your interest too, we'll probably get along well.
From a political standpoint, I don't really fit into the usual "left vs. right" labels. I see the world as a spectrum rather than a binary—though if I had to place myself, I'd say I lean more towards the left.
Science & Astronomy
As a kid, I was endlessly fascinated by the universe—cosmology, space, and how everything works. That curiosity led me to science. Today, I'm an active member of Astro Kerala, where I spend my free time stargazing, building telescopes, and trying to understand the world in the language of science.
Martial Arts
At the same time, I have also enjoyed martial arts for years. I hold a Black Belt in Kung Fu and have studied Pencak Silat, Muay Thai, and a couple of other styles under my Masters, Reji and Sudheesh.
My Journey into Tech
When I went to college, I majored in Computer Science. During the COVID-19 lockdown, my two school friends Alan and Haritha and I decided to create something meaningful.
That's how GeekTomorrow was born, a science and technology news site we built together. Running it made me realize that to truly build something like that, I needed to learn how to code. That realization led me into web development and, eventually, into a career in software engineering and I've been building ever since.
Professional Summary
Software Engineer with 2.8 years of professional experience, specializing in Backend and Data Engineering. Currently working at PixDynamics (FinTech) and pursuing MCA at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
Hi, I'm Dhananjayan - a Software Engineer passionate about building scalable backend systems and data-driven solutions. Over the past few years, I've worked on products that bridge AI and finance, from orchestration pipelines to workflow automation systems.
My Journey
My journey in tech began at PixDynamics in early 2023, where I joined as a Junior Software Engineer and dove straight into building AI-driven FinTech products like Video KYC, Data extraction, and GenAI chatbots. Those early months shaped how I think about reliability, performance, and the value of shipping with intent.
Soon after, I took ownership of developing a complete ReKYC platform for CSB Bank — an experience that pushed me to handle everything from system design to deployment. I learned that good engineering isn't about code volume; it's about clarity, accountability, and making things that last.
My next chapter was with Bluepond AI, where I spent two years as a Data Engineer designing pipelines that powered large-scale document extraction and comparison systems. It was a crash course in architecture, distributed processing, and scaling.
Now back at PixDynamics, I'm part of the Workflow Project Team, building the backend foundation for the VideoKYC onboarding platform. My focus is on data integrity, scalable workflows, and engineering systems that stay resilient as they evolve.

For me, engineering has always been about more than solving problems, it's about understanding them deeply, questioning assumptions, and crafting solutions that feel right. Every project I've worked on has been a step toward that balance between curiosity, precision, and impact.
