Software Engineering Student at Scaler | API & Backend Dev | Open Source Contributor

About

I build software that talks APIs, integrations, and systems that connect ideas to impact. Currently studying Software Engineering at Scaler School of Technology, I spend my time designing clean backend systems, diving deep into API architecture, and contributing to open source projects that push the ecosystem forward. What drives me isn't just writing code it's the curiosity of asking "what if?" and the satisfaction of shipping something real. I believe the best engineers are lifelong learners who aren't afraid to break things, contribute upstream, and collaborate openly. 🔧 Open Source Contributions I actively contribute across the stack , developer tooling, AI agents, file transfer, and blockchain infra: ▸ Ics-query : improved developer onboarding with pipx installation docs ▸ Diplomat-agent : added inter-procedural decorator guard resolution ▸ Nous : resolved syntax errors & merge conflicts in core modules ▸ Protoflow : core libs & skeleton-app ▸ sajosam/spawnverse , built fail-fast GROQ_API_KEY check in the Orchestrator ▸ BeamSync : shipped real-time file transfer progress with speed & ETA ▸ Intcoin : enhanced shell completions and RPC parameter suggestions ▸ Chatvector-ai : added /roadmap page to the frontend demo site and many more ... 💡 If you're building something in the open or want to talk APIs, backend architecture, or open source , let's connect.
