What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build secure microservices, design REST APIs, and work with event-driven systems and cloud/IaC. I want a team that values ownership, clean architecture, and measurable impact.

I’m an entry-level backend developer who loves turning complex systems into secure, scalable microservices. While pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering at Bennett University, I earned a 50% merit scholarship and maintain an 8.53 CGPA, driven by a strong foundation in data structures, databases, and software engineering.

As a Research Intern & Backend Developer, I built production-grade backend features with Spring Boot and Java for an EdTech platform. I integrated JWT-based authentication with Spring Security, delivered role-based access control, and designed RESTful APIs that keep distributed services working smoothly.

I also lead technical initiatives as a Tech Head and build ambitious projects like MailForge (secure distributed email with encryption and Kafka events), Draw2Deploy (AI-assisted cloud infrastructure generation with Terraform/IaC), and DecentraBox (decentralized AI-powered file storage with Web3 and Web3j). I’m motivated to keep bridging innovation and execution—shipping secure systems that stand up in real-world environments.
