Full Stack Engineer • Cloud/DevOps • Open Source Contributor

I'm a B.Tech + MBA (Dual Degree) student at IIITM Gwalior, passionate about building scalable, distributed systems across web, cloud, and Web3. I enjoy working across the stack: crafting intuitive UIs, designing secure microservices, and deploying production-ready distributed systems on cloud infrastructure. I actively contribute to open source, particularly within the CNCF/Kubernetes ecosystem, and love turning ideas into real-world, reliable software.

Full Stack Developer Intern - Neural Network Labs
May 2025 – Aug 2025 (Remote)

• Built production-grade frontend and backend features for AI-powered meme, infographic, and ad generation platforms.
• Integrated ML inference APIs using FastAPI with a structured Node.js backend.
• Developed interactive visual editors using Konva.js and deployed services on AWS and Linode/DigitalOcean.
• Collaborated with ML engineers to optimize workflows, reducing API response times by 25%.

Atlas - Self-Healing Distributed Cache
Golang Distributed Systems Consistent Hashing Concurrency

• Architected a distributed in-memory key-value cache in Go implementing consistent hashing, request routing, partition replication, and concurrent node communication for horizontally scalable data distribution across multiple nodes.
• Built self-healing cluster capabilities including heartbeat-based failure detection, automatic failover, replica routing, and incremental operation-log recovery to maintain high availability and consistency during node failures.
• Engineered durable storage using Write-Ahead Logging (WAL), periodic snapshots, and crash recovery mechanisms ensuring data persistence, fast startup reconstruction, and fault-tolerant operation across distributed nodes.

LinkID - Persistent Professional Identity Platform (Maintainer)
Next.js TypeScript PostgreSQL Prisma Open Source 100+ Contributors GSSoC/NSoC

• Architected and built a persistent identity redirect platform from scratch using Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL (via Prisma ORM), where a single stable URL (e.g., linkid.qzz.io/username/linkedin) resolves to a user's current profile link, decoupling the public-facing URL from the underlying destination, so users can update any linked profile without breaking shared links.
• Grew and maintain the project as founder, scaling it to 100+ contributors through GSSoC (GirlScript Summer of Code) and NSoC, establishing contributor workflows, PR review processes, and project governance for a fully open-source codebase.
• Own end-to-end technical direction,schema design and redirect logic in Next.js/Prisma/PostgreSQL, while mentoring contributors and reviewing community pull requests.

ChitSetu - Decentralized Chit Fund Platform (Web3 Developer)
Solidity Ethers.js Hardhat go-ethereum OpenZeppelin Polygon Amoy

• Designed and deployed smart contracts on Polygon Amoy using Hardhat + OpenZeppelin, covering member onboarding, contribution cycles, auction bidding, and payout distribution..
• Built a Go-based Web3 integration service (go-ethereum) that automates a mint → confirm → deposit pipeline, bridging Razorpay fiat payments with on-chain ERC-20 token provisioning asynchronously post-payment.
• Implemented a cron-driven blockchain retry system with multi-state tracking (minting → pending → confirmed/failed) in MongoDB, ensuring eventual consistency between off-chain payments and on-chain records with zero silent failures

QueueForge - Distributed Job Queue System
Golang PostgreSQL Redis Prometheus Docker

• Built a distributed task processing system using Redis-backed worker pools supporting high-throughput asynchronous job execution with horizontal scalability, configurable concurrency, and priority-based task scheduling.
• Engineered fault-tolerant retry mechanisms and worker-pool concurrency management ensuring reliable job execution, graceful recovery under partial system failures, and zero message loss guarantees.
• Integrated Prometheus observability layer exposing 10+ real-time metrics including queue depth, job throughput, worker utilization, and failure rates enabling proactive production monitoring and alerting.
