Certifications
More than just lines of code
I'm a B.Tech candidate at PDPM IIITDM Jabalpur (CPI 8.3) who enjoys building systems that are reliable under load — distributed workers, async pipelines, and AI features that actually ship.
My work spans backend engineering with FastAPI, Go, and Node.js, AI tooling with RAG and voice agents, and cloud-native infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. I care about clean abstractions and resilient, observable services.
Outside of building, I'm a competitive programmer with 700+ solved problems, an open-source contributor, and a published researcher with a patent to my name.
