Software Engineer · Rust · Backend · AI
I build backend systems, developer tools, and applications that solve actual problems.
I'm a Software Engineer based in Pune, India, currently working as an Associate Software Engineer.
I work across backend development, full-stack applications, AI systems, and infrastructure. My day-to-day stack has included Rust, Node.js, Python, React, Next.js, Docker, and cloud infrastructure.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time building and contributing to open-source software. I'm particularly interested in Rust, systems programming, developer tooling, distributed systems, and AI infrastructure.
- Associate Software Engineer — working on backend and software systems in a production environment.
- Google Summer of Code 2024 — contributed to an open-source project and worked on a production-oriented desktop application.
- Built and shipped multiple independent applications, developer tools, and automation projects.
- Participated in hackathons and technical competitions, including projects that received awards and funding.
- Regularly work with large codebases, debugging, infrastructure, deployment, and open-source development.
Rust
I enjoy using Rust for applications where performance, reliability, and control over system resources matter.
One of my current projects is Rustman, a native, open-source API client built entirely in Rust. It focuses on being lightweight, fast, and free from the overhead of Electron or a WebView.
Backend & Infrastructure
I've worked with Node.js, Express, Python, Docker, AWS, GCP, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Nginx, and Linux.
AI
I've built applications around OCR, computer vision, LLMs, AI-assisted automation, and model evaluation systems.
Full Stack
I build web applications with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js, usually backed by APIs and databases that I build myself.
I like working on projects where I can understand how things work under the hood rather than only using abstractions.
Some of the areas I've contributed to and built projects in:
- Rust and systems programming
- Developer tools
- AI and LLM infrastructure
- Backend systems
- Desktop applications
- Computer vision and OCR
