Full-stack developer working across the JavaScript and Python ecosystems β building everything from React interfaces and Node.js/Express APIs to serverless cloud functions and AI-integrated pipelines. I focus on writing systems that are easy to reason about, deploy, and extend β not just code that works today.
Currently deepening expertise in AWS serverless architecture, event-driven design, and Generative AI integration to ship production-grade, cost-efficient applications at scale.
| Layer | Focus |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React β component architecture, state management, performance, accessibility |
| Backend | Node.js + Express β RESTful API design, auth middleware, error handling, scalability |
| Data | MongoDB for flexible document models; MySQL for relational integrity and complex queries |
| AI & Cloud | Python serverless functions on AWS Lambda; Generative AI integration (Gemini); event-driven pipelines |
| Infrastructure | Docker environments, CI/CD workflows, Linux-based deployment, Git-driven collaboration |
Problem: Students in Tier-2/3 cities across India lack access to affordable, quality technical interview preparation. Existing platforms are English-only, expensive, and require stable broadband.
Solution: Built a serverless, WhatsApp-native interview coach using a fully decoupled AWS pipeline. Lambda A ingests voice notes in Hinglish/Hindi, triggers Amazon Transcribe asynchronously, and shuts down immediately. EventBridge wakes Lambda B when transcription completes β it grades the answer with Gemini AI, generates the next adaptive question, and delivers spoken feedback via Amazon Polly. All session state lives in DynamoDB; zero app install required.
Tech: Python AWS Lambda Amazon Transcribe Amazon Polly EventBridge DynamoDB S3 Google Gemini WhatsApp Business API
Impact: Handles 1,000+ concurrent users at ~$1.31/user/month; supports Hinglish/Hindi voice input; built for the AWS AI for Bharat Hackathon
Problem: Crypto investors have no simple, privacy-first way to track holdings and view performance charts without connecting to a third-party service that stores their financial data.
Solution: Built a full-stack portfolio dashboard with a React/Vite frontend, Node.js backend, and client-side IndexedDB for offline-first data persistence β no account or cloud dependency required. Integrated Chart.js for real-time visualisation and Hardhat-based smart contracts for on-chain holding verification.
Tech: React Vite Node.js Solidity Hardhat Chart.js IndexedDB
Impact: Fully offline-capable architecture; users retain complete ownership of their financial data with no third-party exposure
Team Project β Built collaboratively as part of a team for Megalith, a large-scale college technical fest.
Problem: Managing hundreds of registrations, multiple events, workshops, and teams manually is chaotic β organisers need one central place to handle everything from sign-ups to certificates.
Solution: Built a full-stack event management platform where students can register, join teams, and sign up for workshops β and admins can manage everything from a dedicated dashboard. The platform handles online payments via Razorpay, sends automated email confirmations with Nodemailer, and generates certificates for participants. The entire app is server-rendered with Next.js for fast page loads.
Tech: Next.js TypeScript React Tailwind CSS MongoDB Mongoose Razorpay Nodemailer
My Role: Worked as part of a dev team β contributed to backend API routes, database schema design with Mongoose, and admin dashboard features. Collaborated using Git branching, code reviews, and shared task ownership across the team.
Problem: Platforms like "Buy Me a Coffee" charge platform fees and depend on centralised payment processors, giving creators less revenue and less control over their supporters' data.
Solution: Built a decentralised alternative where supporters send ETH directly to creators via a Solidity smart contract β no intermediary, no fees. The React frontend connects to MetaMask for seamless wallet-based transactions, and the contract enforces all business logic trustlessly on-chain.
Tech: Solidity Hardhat React Ethers.js Vercel
Impact: Zero platform fees; trustless execution guaranteed by the smart contract; deployed live on Vercel
