ABOUT

Who I am, briefly.

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at SSN College of Engineering, usually found somewhere between a terminal and a chessboard. I'm interested in building things that solve real-world problems — a campus marketplace with real-time chat, an AI-powered DSA tutor — and I've recently started contributing to open-source projects I actually use.

Outside of code, I'm a competitive chess player. I also created Dead Coders Society, an Instagram page that grew to 15,000 followers in two months, teaching programming fundamentals through interactive challenges.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably thinking about my next move.

FEATURED PROJECTS

Things I've built.

CampusMarketPlace

A secure, real-time marketplace for university students to buy, sell, and trade within their campus community.

▸Real-time chat at scale — Socket.io with a Redis Pub/Sub adapter for horizontal scaling across multiple server instances

▸Secure by design — JWT auth in HttpOnly cookies, Bcrypt password hashing, Helmet.js security headers, rate-limited API endpoints

▸Full admin dashboard with role-based access control and a built-in support ticket system

▸Cloud-hosted image uploads via Multer + Cloudinary

▸Fully containerized with Docker Compose, orchestrating MySQL, Redis, the Node backend, and an Nginx-served frontend

▸Deployed live on Render

DSA Club

In Progress — Private Repo

An AI-powered DSA practice platform that coaches through Socratic hints instead of handing out answers.

▸A guard-classified hint engine (Gemini API) that never reveals the algorithm — calibrates hint specificity based on hints used, and redirects off-topic or pasted-solution attempts

▸A full mock-interview mode with live voice transcription (Azure Speech SDK), sequential follow-up questions, and AI-scored feedback on clarity and technical depth

▸JWT + Google OAuth authentication, MongoDB-backed streak tracking

▸React/Vite frontend, Node/Express backend with structured error handling

OPEN SOURCE

Giving back to the code I use.

"What man is a man who does not make the world a better place?"
That's stuck with me since I first heard it — it's part of why I started contributing to open-source projects I actually use, instead of just filing issues and moving on.

Actively contributing since June 2026

EXPERIENCE

Where I've worked.

Intern · CX365

1 month

Hands-on cloud application development on AWS, building serverless functions and event-driven pipelines.

▸Built serverless functions with AWS Lambda for input validation, batch processing, and duplicate request handling
▸Automated storage workflows with Amazon S3 — CSV-to-JSON conversion, image compression via Lambda Layers, metadata extraction
▸Designed NoSQL backend systems with DynamoDB, including a CRUD-based management system, an attendance tracker using composite keys, and an order system with GSI filtering
▸Configured IAM roles and policies for secure Lambda execution and resource access
▸Processed speech with Amazon Transcribe — transcription, PII redaction, speaker diarization, and sentiment analysis
▸Generated AI-powered summaries and structured insights from transcripts using Amazon Bedrock
