About

I'm Currently a 3rd year CS student, It all started in the month of Jun 2025 when i realized Data science is not where my interest lies in and dove straight into the guts of the internet: Backend, Infrastructure, and Distributed Systems. My daily driver is Arch Linux (with Hyprland), and my tools of choice are Go and C++, because if a system isn't performant and memory-safe, it’s just a liability. What I’m Building these days I believe the best way to understand a complex system is to build a version of it from scratch. My current projects reflect my obsession with real-time performance and scale: Lumix: A real-time multiuser collaboration tool leveraging WebRTC and Yjs for seamless data synchronization. Kin: A specialized CLI snippet manager written in Go to optimize my own developer workflow. Crypto Exchange: A microservices-based trading platform designed to handle high-concurrency and real-time data streams. I'm currently working on a project which involves building a container runtime from scratch using c++, which is a implementation of my linux learnings these days. Open Source & Community I am an active contributor to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem. I’m currently deep in the Shipwright Project, navigating the complexities of Kubernetes-native build frameworks and local Kind clusters. I’ve also contributed to Meshery, because I believe in the power of service meshes and the importance of participating in the communities that define the future of the web. If you’re looking for someone who cares more about p99 latencies and idempotent infrastructure than just "making it work," let's talk.
