About

I am a Software Development Engineer with a strong background creating distributed and scalable backend systems. I hold a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIIT Bhopal (CGPA 8.71). Over the past few years, I’ve worked extensively with Go, Python, Redis, Kubernetes, and distributed system design, contributing to: - Building and scaling centralized IAM services for Krutrim Public Cloud, reducing latency to 8ms and improving security resilience. - Implementing cross-account access and policy evaluation engines handling thousands of concurrent requests. - Designing secure and performant systems with caching, containerization, and horizontal scaling. Beyond professional experience, I’ve also: - Built Pro-Judge, an online code judge platform with Dockerized sandboxing and scalable backend on AWS ECS. - Won the Smart India Hackathon 2023 for creating an AI-based chatbot, AyurMitram. - Developed NASA’s 3D Solar System clone (FRONTIER) with models of Mangalyaan and ISS. I’m passionate about cloud computing, distributed systems, and backend engineering, and I enjoy solving complex system challenges at scale.
