About

I am a final-semester Computer Science Engineering student at Lovely Professional University, currently working as a Programmer Analyst Trainee at Cognizant, building production-grade systems on Microsoft Azure. My core stack: C#, ASP.NET Core, Microsoft Azure, REST APIs, SQL Server — focused on scalable backend APIs, secure cloud architecture, and distributed systems. At Cognizant, I have built 4+ production-grade Azure projects including an event-driven microservices notification system, a hospital management REST API with 14 endpoints, and a secure API platform with APIM gateway, Key Vault, and Managed Identity — all deployed on Azure App Service. I work extensively with ADO.NET, Entity Framework Core, Azure Service Bus, Function Apps, Logic Apps, Application Insights, and Azure SQL — following secure-by-design principles including parameterized queries, passwordless auth, and subscription key enforcement. Alongside development, I actively practice DSA in C++ — LeetCode rating 1623, solved 200+ problems, HackerRank 5-Star in C++ (top 10% among 500,000+ participants).
