Software Engineer | Making computers do the hard work so humans don't have to.

I build backend systems that scale, APIs that behave (most days), and developer tools that make life a little less painful.

My toolbox? Java, Spring Boot, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, and TypeScript. My favorite kind of problem? The one that makes me say, “There has to be a better way to do this.”

Previously at LTIMindtree, I worked on enterprise financial systems, building software where reliability isn't a nice-to-have — it's the whole point.

Currently exploring the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and AI — because apparently, making computers do things wasn't interesting enough.

Open to building cool things with cool people. If your team is solving interesting problems, we should talk.

P.S. I write code, not “Hello World” career summaries. You're already past the first line. :))

An AI-powered search tool for university information.

I built the data ingestion and indexing pipeline and used Qdrant + Groq Llama 3.1 to make 285+ university pages searchable through natural language.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, Qdrant

A real-time cryptocurrency dashboard built around streaming market data.

The interesting part of this project was the real-time pipeline — WebSockets, Binance APIs, server-side rendering, and caching.

It handles live data for 1,000+ assets and updates the UI in roughly 2 seconds.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, WebSockets

→ GitHub

A small monitoring service I built to explore application observability.

It exposes health and metrics endpoints, collects Prometheus metrics, and uses Grafana for dashboards.

Stack: Python, FastAPI, Prometheus, Grafana, Docker
