ABOUT / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE
Curious by nature. Engineer by craft.
I’m Laya, a software engineer based in Chennai. I care about understanding how things work—and making them work better.

A LITTLE CONTEXT
Strong systems start
with thoughtful questions.
My work at Bank of America sits where engineering meets everyday banking. I build and maintain Java and Spring Boot services that support merchant onboarding, and help evolve the platforms those services depend on.
I enjoy the full journey: understanding a problem, connecting the right systems, and making the result easier to maintain. That curiosity led me to build RootIQ, an AI agent for root cause analysis, and now informs my work in deployment automation and Java modernization.
Beyond the code, I’ve hosted annual events at the Chennai office and won its divisional chess tournament. Whether it’s a service migration or a game of chess, I enjoy thinking a few moves ahead.
