About

I am a Software Engineer with a strong interest in backend development, distributed systems, and scalable software engineering. I graduated from IIT Guwahati with a B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing and currently work at Cadence Design Systems as a Software Engineer-I, where I work on Static Timing Analysis (STA), runtime optimization, debugging complex system-level issues, and improving software reliability using C/C++. I have experience building applications using Node.js, Express.js, Spring Boot, ReactJS, Kafka, Docker, MySQL, and MongoDB. During my time at ClearTax, I worked on migrating Angular modules to ReactJS and improving backend integrations using Java and Spring Boot. I enjoy solving challenging engineering problems and have built projects including a microservices-based airline reservation system with concurrent booking support and Kafka-driven asynchronous communication. Alongside development, I actively practice competitive programming and have achieved Codeforces Expert (1755) and LeetCode Knight (1957) ratings.
