About
Software Engineer at Bentley Systems. I build the systems that other engineers build on top of. In the past year, I've shipped an NLP-to-SQL agent that lets teams query databases in plain English (adopted across multiple internal teams), a gRPC client that constructs structural engineering models in real-time via bidirectional streaming, and a micro-frontend integration layer serving Bentley's unified platform across all product lines. I reduced API response times by 60% through batch query optimization and cut 3D model analysis time by 85% with an automated benchmarking pipeline. I won Bentley's company-wide Architecture Kata; designing an event-driven microservices architecture for real-time trip consolidation across heterogeneous data sources and was recognized by the CTO, Julien Moutte, for the work. I also write engineering deep dives on systems I find worth understanding like: how Chrome's Device Bound Session Credentials replace bearer cookies with TPM-backed proof-of-possession, how AWS S3 turns unreliable HDDs into planet-scale durable storage through erasure coding and repair loops. I write because explaining systems is how I get better at building them. LeetCode Knight: Top 5% globally, 1880+ rating, 500+ problems solved. CodeChef Global Rank #27(April Long). Smart India Hackathon National Finalist. AWS AI ML Scholar. IMO Silver Medalist. Scholarship from Government of Jharkhand. Core: Java, TypeScript, C++, Node.js. Frameworks: Spring Boot, Redis, React, Electron. Infrastructure: gRPC/Protobuf, Docker, Azure (App Insights, Octopus Deploy), LaunchDarkly, REST APIs. Architecture: microservices, event-driven systems, distributed systems design. Currently targeting SDE 2 / Backend Engineer / Full-stack roles working on high-scale distributed systems, service-oriented architectures, cloud-native infrastructure, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and performance-critical applications.
