About

I'm a Backend Engineer and final-year Computer Science (AI) student passionate about building scalable software systems, APIs, and AI-powered applications. Over the past two years, I've designed, developed, and deployed production-grade software across backend engineering, machine learning, and full-stack development. My experience includes building REST APIs, deploying machine learning models, integrating LLMs into applications, and shipping systems used in real-world environments. Some of the projects I've built include a disease prediction platform serving 141 disease classes through FastAPI, an AI-powered GitHub repository analysis tool using LLMs, a production-ready URL shortener with analytics and CI/CD automation, and a collaborative task management platform with authentication and role-based access control. My primary technical interests include: • Backend Engineering • API Design & Distributed Systems • Cloud Deployment & DevOps • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning • System Design Achievements: • GATE 2026 Qualified in both CS & IT and Data Science & AI • Solved 520+ Data Structures & Algorithms problems • 5-Star HackerRank ratings in Problem Solving and Python • Salesforce Agentblazer Champion (Mountaineer Rank) I enjoy understanding how systems work, diagnosing complex problems, and building reliable software that scales. Open to Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, Python Developer, and AI/ML Engineer opportunities.
