## About

I am a Computer Science undergraduate and Data Engineering Intern at Deloitte, focused on backend systems, cloud\-native infrastructure, data engineering, and AI\-assisted developer tooling\. My work spans Go/Python/NestJs backend services, Kubernetes\-based deployments, real\-time data pipelines, API design, observability, and test\-driven development\. I have worked on production\-style systems across government maritime surveillance, API/microservice engineering, data infrastructure, and AI\-powered automation\. One of my core projects is a maritime surveillance platform for Odisha Coastal Police, involving real\-time GPS telemetry, backend ingestion services, Kafka pipelines, TimescaleDB/PostGIS storage, Kubernetes deployment workflows, and operational dashboards\. I have also worked with ConvertAPI on backend engineering and test\-driven service development\. Currently, I am deepening my contribution focus in cloud\-native open source, especially around Meshery’s AI Adapter / AI Connections work\. I am studying adapter boundaries, meshery\-adapter\-library, meshkit, protobuf contracts, Connections/Credentials, BYOM provider design, and schema\-validated natural\-language\-to\-infrastructure workflows\. I care about building systems that are not only functional, but reliable, observable, secure, and maintainable\. My engineering approach is simple: understand the architecture first, define clean boundaries, treat external/model output as untrusted, write tests early, and then implement incrementally\. 📫 jaganhotta357@outlook\.com \| 🌐 techwithjagan\.vercel\.app
