Software Engineering Student | Backend & Full-Stack Systems | B.Tech CSE (AI/ML)

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at Polaris School of Technology (2024–2028), focused on building production-grade backend systems and full-stack applications. I care about clean architecture, well-defined APIs, robust access control, and writing software that works reliably under real conditions.

I am currently expanding into Machine Learning and Generative AI — learning the fundamentals methodically and integrating them alongside my core engineering work.

• Backend Architecture — REST API design, authentication, session management, role-based and object-level access control
• Full-Stack Development — End-to-end applications with Django and MERN, from data modeling to deployment
• Real-Time Systems — WebSocket-based collaboration, live chat, and signaling for multi-user applications
• Testing & Correctness — Unit and property-based testing to validate system behavior
• ML & GenAI (Learning) — Python-based data preprocessing, foundational ML models, and exploring LLM-based applications

Tools & Testing

A full-stack platform for conducting live technical interviews with synchronized code editing, built on the MERN stack.

• Multi-user real-time code synchronization using WebSockets and Monaco Editor
• Video calling and in-session chat for live interview workflows
• REST APIs handling authentication, session creation, and room management
• Deployed to production on Render

Stack: React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, WebSockets, Monaco Editor

A Django-based project management system with granular access control and validated correctness through structured testing.

• Role-based and object-level permissions using django-guardian
• CRUD workflows for tasks, comments, file uploads, and notifications
• Mentions, activity logging, and email-based alerts
• Test suite built with Pytest covering unit and property-based tests

Stack: Django, PostgreSQL, Tailwind CSS, Pytest

A role-based LMS supporting Admin, Instructor, and Student workflows, built as a structured MERN monorepo.

• Role-based architecture enforcing distinct capabilities per user type
• REST APIs for course management, enrollment, and user role assignment
• Real-time chat and live session signaling using Socket.io
• Secure media uploads integrated via Cloudinary

Stack: MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js, Socket.io

I approach learning by building — every new concept gets tested inside a working system.

Currently focused on:

• Machine Learning fundamentals — Python, data preprocessing, supervised learning models
• Generative AI — exploring LLM-based application patterns and prompt engineering
• Deepening backend engineering — system design patterns, caching strategies, and scaling considerations
• Data Structures, Algorithms, DBMS, and OS fundamentals

I'm building toward a point where ML and backend engineering intersect — intelligent systems backed by solid infrastructure.
